Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that London is actively discussing the topic of Ukraine in order to "take its eyes off" the problems within the country.

According to her, in the past two months, British politics has been in a state of crisis, and the question of the resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been raised.

Zakharova noted that she refers not to the Russian media or Moscow's assessments, but to the British press and their debates in Parliament.

“This is where the activation of the topic of Ukraine began, which one way or another must look away from the audience and come up with some new threat that must be fought now, otherwise everything is a global collapse,” she said on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been at the center of controversy after attending parties at his residence during lockdowns to combat the spread of COVID-19.

The prime minister refused to resign, saying that he took the entertainment event for work. However, according to a poll, 65% of UK citizens believe that Johnson should resign if the police fine him for violating COVID restrictions. In addition, 58% of respondents expressed the opinion that the prime minister will need to step down if it turns out that his employees have violated the law.
