Kremlin: Boris Johnson doesn't like us, we don't like him either
-
“We would like to hope that someday in Great Britain more professional people who can make decisions through dialogue will come to power.”
The Kremlin said on Thursday (July 7) that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson didn't like Russia and that Moscow didn't like him either.
Speaking during a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "He (Johnson) doesn't like us, we don't like him either."
Spokesman Peskov said the Kremlin hoped that “more professional people” would come to power in Britain after the BBC reported Boris Johnson will resign as Conservative party leader.
He told reporters: “We would like to hope that someday in Great Britain more professional people who can make decisions through dialogue will come to power.”
“But at the moment there is little hope for that,” he added.
Earlier this Thursday (July 7), Boris Johnson was set to step down as Conservative Party leader, but he plans to stay on as prime minister until autumn, the BBC reported.
He is expected to make a resignation statement in Downing Street shortly.
Boris Johnson crisis: UK prime minister to resign – British media say
Boris Johnson is the third Conservative prime minister in Britain to be brought down by Conservative, or Tory, infighting in the space of six years.
A split over Europe ultimately led to David Cameron losing his Brexit gamble and resigning, while Theresa May failed to unite her warring MPs over plans to deliver on the outcome of the referendum. In Johnson's case, his own leadership caused a rift in the party.
Boris Johnson has been one of Ukraine’s strongest supporters as it battles Russia, visiting Kyiv twice since the conflict began and forming a personal relationship with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
