According to the Kremlin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov the British Prime Minister is planning to call on EU leaders to tighten the sanctions on Russia.
Peskov said that “the British leadership continues to follow a rather consistent policy,” and Starmer is pushing a “confrontational policy” on their EU partners.
Peskov said, “The British persist in advocating the idea that Ukraine should keep fighting until the last Ukrainian remains. However, the reality on the ground clearly shows that the situation is not in the Kiev regime’s favour.
“Even many Western officials and experts acknowledge this, including in Western Europe.”
“We are well aware that Great Britain is among the countries that push to impose this confrontational policy on their European partners,” he added.
The British Prime Minister said ahead of today’s informal summit of the EU heads of state the government will continue to work with EU partners to expand sanctions on Russia’s energy sector.
Starmer is also planning to boost defence and security ties with the EU and that the UK wants to strengthen cooperation against illegal immigration.
