LONDON, July 3. /TASS/. Moscow remains vigilant regarding the British government's recent announcements to boost military expenditure, according to Russia’s ambassador to Britain, Andrey Kelin, who was speaking in an interview with TASS.
"We take the plans to militarize Britain and the European continent very seriously," Kelin stated. "Significant sums are being allocated, and we are meticulously monitoring all expenditures supporting the Kiev regime." He expressed a skeptical outlook, noting that "I can't shake the feeling that a substantial portion of these funds will be stolen or misused," which, he suggested, will lead to an increase in the presence of luxury cars with Ukrainian license plates in London.
Kelin underscored Russia’s stance of non-aggression, asserting, "Russia has no intentions, plans, or reasons to attack Europe or Britain. Any escalation would only occur at the initiative of the West. All other rhetoric is merely about funneling money into the military-industrial complex, which has waned in the West over recent decades."
Having led the Russian embassy in London since November 2019, Kelin announced during the interview that he will soon conclude his diplomatic mission.
