The Kremlin warned on Monday that the next British prime minister had little chance of doing anything beneficial because the leadership race had been dominated by anti-Russian rhetoric.

“I don’t think we can hope for anything positive,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Britain’s next prime minister is set to be announced later today, following a weeks long party leadership contest between British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, a former finance minister.
