British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has come under fire and is in danger of losing his post over a row over parties at the government residence on Downing Street during the nationwide lockdown. />The head of the British Foreign Office arrived in Moscow for talks with LavrovAs Zakharova noted, in the past two months, the crisis state of British politics has been quite obvious, including the question of the resignation of the prime minister. «I am now referring not to the Russian media or our assessments, these are the British media, these are their debates in parliament, etc. This is where the activation of the topic of Ukraine began, which one way or another must avert the audience's eyes and come up with some new threat that must be fought now, otherwise everything — global collapse,» Zakharova said on the Russia 24 TV channel. The British government claims that London is «at the forefront of efforts to curb Russia's hostility towards its neighbors,» and in total, over the past two weeks, British ministers have discussed the situation with more than a third of the NATO countries. Russia has repeatedly rejected the accusations of the West and Ukraine of «aggressive actions», stating that no one does not threaten and does not intend to attack anyone, and statements about «Russian aggression» are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry noted earlier that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the possibility of helping Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. At the same time, Kiev and Western states have recently expressed concern about the alleged increase in «aggressive actions» by Russia near the borders of Ukraine. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is moving troops within its territory and at its own discretion. According to him, this does not threaten anyone and should not bother anyone.
