MOSCOW, October 26. /TASS/. The UK’s foreign policy will not change under new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as the same people hold the government’s key positions, Russian Ambassador to London Andrey Kelin said on the Solovyev Live television channel on Wednesday.
"As for the course the new government will take, the new appointments and initial moves speak to this. The same people who were there before have been appointed to key positions: Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, the same goes for the Home Office and the rest. This shows that the government's foreign policy will remain about the same," Kelin said.
"The first steps are also known. Among them was a conversation with [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky and the second conversation with [US President Joe] Biden. Thus, Sunak is being groomed as to where to go and how. Although he himself is likely to handle economic issues, as there is loads of work to do and the failure is huge," the diplomat said.
