Liz Truss has resigned. She served as prime minister for only a month and a half, as she was unable to cope with the financial crisis in the country.
Political scientist Andrey Vigirinsky stressed that Truss resigned precisely because of the numerous problems in the UK . Their specialist explained in detail on channel 24.
Johnson left behind a lot of problems
According to him, the economic problems in the UK began not because of the big war that Russia started against Ukraine. These are the consequences of the process that the Conservative Party has started. They are connected with Brexit – the exit of the country from the European Union.
As a result, financial markets and economic conditions have changed. This also gave rise to socio-economic problems.
In fact, the problems that Boris Johnson left for Liz Truss were so many that no prime minister would be able to solve these problems in the short term. – Vigirinsky explained.
While the steps taken by Truss – lowering the tax system and freezing tariffs for housing and communal services – raise a lot of questions. Consequently, economic problems have worsened, the political scientist concluded.

How this will affect support for Ukraine
- After her resignation to the UK, changes are expected again, but for Ukraine this does not carry radical risks. This Channel 24 was told by the expert of the Foreign Policy Council “Ukrainian Prism” Oleksandr Kraev.
- He explained that after the resignation of Liz Truss, the Ukrainian topic may indeed lose popularity for a while due to internal crises and problems of re-elections in Great Britain.
