Russian Ambassador Says UK Tried to Make Him Defect
Russian Ambassador Says UK Tried to Make Him Defect
In an interview with Russia’s Channel One on Friday, Ambassador Andrey Kelin said he maintains frequent contact with the British press, adding, “they suggested to me recently that I quit my post and apply for asylum in the UK.”
.
The British government has been consistent in its policy of applying diplomatic pressure and economic sanctions against Russia, while providing financial and military aid to Kiev amid the conflict with Moscow.
During the G20 foreign ministers meeting in South Africa on Thursday, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Moscow has “learned nothing” over the Ukraine conflict, accusing it of pursuing “the logic of imperialism dressed up as a realpolitik.”
Kelin described the comments as “offensive” and “rude.”
.
In an article for The Telegraph on Monday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, “Europe and the United States must continue to work closely together” in order to “to deter Putin from further aggression in the future.”
The administration of US President Donald Trump, however, has effectively made a U-turn with regard to Washington’s previous policies towards Kiev.
Trump recently blamed Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky for starting and escalating the conflict.
.
The US envoys to the G7 and the UN have reportedly advocated for softer language in official statements, proposing references to the “Ukraine conflict” rather than “Russia’s war of aggression.”
.
Kelin says the UK is unwilling to soften its stance, claiming it is emotionally invested in the conflict with Russia and in what he described as “the Ukraine project,” with overall spending, including already sustained armament losses, amounting to around $100 billion.
”Their overall strategy remains unchanged, regardless of the situation on the ground, regardless of the US U-turn,” he said.
“A change in stance would equal to admitting they have pursued wrong policies for years.
How would they explain that to the British people, who have been forced to live with Net-Zero by 2050 follies
and Russo-phobia austerity for years?"

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
