| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The victory of the Labor Party in the UK parliamentary elections does not inspire optimism in terms of improving Russian-British relations. This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov to journalists on July 5. According to the Kremlin spokesman, the Labour Party is more likely to continue its line of denying the future of Moscow-London relations. The Labour Party's previous statements do not indicate flexibility or a desire to normalise relations. “Therefore, we do not feel any optimism here,” Peskov said. As reported by Regnum News Agency, the Labour Party won the elections to the House of Commons, the lower house of the UK Parliament, securing more than half of the 650 seats. Rishi Sunak, who had led the British government since October 25, 2022, acknowledged the Conservatives' defeat in the elections and resigned as Prime Minister.
According to Elena Ananyeva, head of the Center for British Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), the victory of the Labor Party will not change the country's attitude toward Russia. She recalled that the Labor Party has established itself as a party that supports the Kiev regime.
