Britain has become Russia's main enemy: why the Kremlin blames London

Великобританія стала ключовим противником Росії: що стоїть за звинуваченнями Кремля на адресу Лондона.

In recent years, Great Britain has become the main object of hostility from Russia. It is accused of provocations on Russian territory and organizing drone strikes. The reason for this is Moscow's attempts to improve relations with Donald Trump. Thus, Great Britain has taken the position previously held by the USA as the main opponent of the Kremlin. The history of rivalry between Russia and Great Britain dates back to the 19th century, when both empires vied for influence in Central Asia. The Cold War shifted the focus towards confrontation between Moscow and Washington, and only the Russo-Ukrainian war has intensified relations. Russian leaders believe that Great Britain is behind conspiracies against them, as the British openly support military aid to Ukraine, which is unacceptable for Moscow. As a result, this may disrupt European rearmament plans due to Russia's emphasis on Great Britain.
