Russia Fires Off a Formal Oops to Sir Keir Starmer
In a snappy reminder that the UK’s fascination with the Ukraine drama is less gentle than a tut, Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a haughty warning to Sir Keir Starmer. The Kremlin’s spokesperson bluntly told the Prime Minister that the UK is “obsessed” with the Ukraine fight.
What did the Russians shout?
- London is “constantly raising the stakes” in Ukraine.
- Keir is coaxing NATO buddies to push the line of danger too far.
- They warn that a new global showdown is not far behind.
Why a roast now?
Starmer has been trembling with the U.S. leaders, especially when Donald Trump blasted Kyiv’s ambition to join NATO right in the Oval Office. Trump’s tweet—“No going into NATO by Ukraine” and a bang on Crimea—fueled the frenzy. Meanwhile, Downing Street’s mood was all calm: the UK’s stance on Ukraine is “final,” and Ukraine’s path to the alliance is, per the spokesperson, “irreversible.” Starmer, in his usually polished style, responded that Russia “cannot have a veto” over Ukraine’s road to the EU or NATO.
Side notes: Ukraine’s selfie moments
President Volodymyr Zelensky, fighting the intense global spotlight, shot off a brief meetup with the U.S. chaps at the Oval, then jetted to a gathering with European leaders. The February White House shindig was a total disaster, but the Euro brush‑up still rallied folks behind Ukraine.
