The British authorities are using the story about the former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Yevgeny Muraev, whom the British Foreign Office called a pro-Russian leader in Kiev, to distract citizens from internal problems in the country. Such an opinion expressed authors of the British newspaper The Observer.
As journalists note, the fact that the authorities did not disclose the details and details of the information they received about provocations from Russia is alarming. In addition, the situation was further confused by the comments of Muraev himself, who advised British intelligence to suspect another candidate.
The authors suggested that in this way, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson decided to divert the attention of the British from internal political conflicts in the country – for example, from the scandal with his participation in a party during a general lockdown.
This version is also supported by the former special adviser to the British Foreign Office, David Clark. “The domestic agenda right now is focused on a government that is in trouble, a government that, in all honesty, has a track record of organizing sensational news stuffing in order to divert attention away from its own difficulties,” Clarke said.
Earlier, the British Foreign Office made a statement that the Russian authorities plan to imprison a “loyal, pro-Russian leader” in Kiev. “We have information indicating that the Russian government is seeking to install a pro-Russian leader in Kiev as it considers the invasion and occupation of Ukraine,” the document says.
