MOSCOW, October 7. /TASS/. Businessmen are advised not to establish ties and contact with Russia in the United Kingdom, Russian Ambassador to London Andrey Kelin said on Friday on the air with the Rossiya-24 TV Channel.

"All that is expressly prohibited. Businessmen are advised to completely do away with any ties, contact, even simple talks on everyday topics," the Ambassador said.

London is thus "scorching" any space related to Russia, Kelin noted. "The complete ‘scorching’ of any space associated with Russia [is taking place in the UK]," the diplomat added.
