British officials advised to avoid the Russian Embassy, according to a diplomatic source.
In a recent statement, Russian Minister Andrei Kelin hinted at the ongoing strained relations between Russia and the West, without directly addressing the current political tensions and sanctions. The West has imposed severe sanctions on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, a move that has significantly impacted Russia's international standing.
Kelin's statement, however, focused on the potential failure of Ukraine and the need for its potential renovation. He criticized Western politicians for their short-sightedness, accusing them of being "one-day butterflies" who prioritise scoring political points over serious thinking about the future.
The minister's statement also suggested a negative view of the current situation in the United Kingdom from the perspective of Russian businessmen, with Kelin implying that London is no longer considered a safe haven. He did not specify the factors leading to this change in perception, but he did mention that the UK is perceived as a "corsair haven."
Despite these concerns, Kelin confirmed that there are no connections between the Russian delegation and King Charles III. However, the current status of relations between the British royal family and the Russian delegation in London remains unclear, as Buckingham Palace could not be reached for comment out of normal business hours.
It is also worth noting that the statement does not address the impact of the ongoing situation in Ukraine on the Russian economy or business community, nor does it provide a timeline for when Ukraine might become a failed state or need renovation.
The relations between Russia and the West are at their worst since the Cold War, following President Vladimir Putin's order of an invasion of Ukraine. The ongoing sanctions and political tensions have created a complex and tense situation that continues to evolve.
