Since the invasion of Ukraine, relations between Britain and Russia have been strained. In this case, Russia has strongly condemned Britain’s decision not to invite Russia to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
In a statement issued by Russia in this regard, “The British Foreign Office has informed the Russian Embassy in London that it will not send invitations to Russian officials, including heads of the Russian Embassy, to the ceremonial events following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
#Zakharova: We have to say that Elizabeth II being an example of a very strong unifying force has not dissuaded London from making divisive statements in furtherance of its own opportunistic aims.

We consider this attempt to use a national tragedy that has touched the hearts of millions of people around the world for geopolitical purposes and to settle scores with our country deeply immoral. It insults the memory of Elizabeth II, who served in the British Army’s sub-territorial service fighting the Nazis and their Ukrainian allies, Stephen Bandera and Roman Shukevich, during World War II. Today the British side has taken a different side, while Moscow remembers and will continue to remember all the soldiers who contributed to the victory.
Elizabeth II was a very strong unifying force and remained non-interventionist on principle. For our part, we offer our deepest condolences to the people of the United Kingdom for their great loss.” It is reported that.
