the Kremlin has called a constructive meeting in Berlin meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the head of the UK government, Boris Johnson.
“overall, the contact was fairly concise, but at the same time, let’s say, fairly constructive, with the elements of such a conciliatory attitude,” said TASS press-Secretary of Russian leader Dmitry Peskov.
he stressed that the mentioned in the media reviews British side on this occasion did not reflect the atmosphere of the meeting.
“the Essence of the contact is clearly different from the essence of the message to Downing street about the incident and conversation,” — said the representative of the Kremlin, refusing more detailed comments.
Vladimir Putin met with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chairman of the European Commission, and Ursula von der Leyen during a break at the international conference on Libya, held in Berlin on January 19. It was the first personal meeting of Putin and Johnson.
After that, the office of the Prime Minister said that during these negotiations, Johnson made clear that the position of London on the incident in Salisbury has not changed, and the normalization of relations between the two countries will not be until Russia threatens the security of the United Kingdom and its allies.
