UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced her resignation after only 6 weeks in office. Changes await Britain again, but this does not pose radical risks for Ukraine.
Politicians are not the only ones supporting Ukraine
About this 24 channelsOleksandr Kraev, expert of the Ukrainian Prism Foreign Policy Council, said. He explained that after the resignation of Liz Truss, the Ukrainian theme may indeed lose popularity for a while due to internal crises and re-election problems in the UK. There are also risks that some British politicians will come up with not the most pleasant stories about Russian capital or ties with Russia.
But you should not worry, first of all, because cooperation between Ukraine and the UK is laid down in strategic documents – National security strategies and the geopolitical concept of “Global Britain”.
“Our cooperation is a matter of the national interests of the United Kingdom. It is primarily taken care of by civil servants, those same British officials who are very indifferent to what is happening in the political sphere,” Kraev emphasized.
He added that these people profess the interests of the United Kingdom, have been in their positions for decades and will not allow the political structure to destroy these interests.
“A long time ago a joke circulated in Britain that the issues of elections and democracy are very important for Britain until they contradict the national interests,” the expert emphasized.
Therefore, in fact, I don’t see any global threats of apocalyptic scale either for our cooperation or for British support yet,” Kraev summed up. what is known
