Russian ambassador to the UK said that the royal family was advised not to have any contacts with the Russian embassy in London . Relations with Russia have been at their lowest level since the Cold War .
According to the Izvestia newspaper, Russia's ambassador to the United Kingdom said that Britains royal family was being advised not to have any contacts with the Russian embassy in London.Asked by Izvestia if there had been any meetings with King Charles III, Russian ambassador Andrei Kelin said: No, and I know that members of the royal family are urged not to keep or contact with the Russian embassy.Outside of normal business hours, Buckingham Palace could not be reached for clarification.Since President Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine and the West placed the most stringent sanctions on Russia, relations with Russia have been at their lowest level since the Cold War.
Kelin said that it deprives them of knowing what will happen in Ukraine in a month and a year from now.Ultimately, if things go as planned, Ukraine will become a collapsed nation, a black hole that will need to be patched up.According to him, Russian businessmen, including the so-called oligarchs who made astronomical fortunes after the fall of the Soviet Union, no longer consider London to be a safe haven.No one would now consider the United Kingdom to be a safe haven; it turned out to be a pirate haven, he said.
