16:20 22.06.2026 (Updated: 16:21 22.06.2026) Resigning UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer have always been proponent of maintaining relations between the UK and Russia at the zero level, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
Earlier in the day, Starmer announced his resignation as Labour Party leader.
"Keir Starmer has not proven himself in any way in terms of Russian-British relations. He has always been a proponent of maintaining these relations at zero," Peskov told reporters.
It is unlikely that anyone among UK politics will have a different position regarding dialogue with Russia, the official added.
The election of the new leader of the Labour Party will begin on July 9 and will be completed before the UK Parliament returns in September, Starmer highlighted.
