In a March 30, 2026 interview, British Ambassador to Moscow Nigel Casey explained that the current UK‑Russia relationship is defined by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He said the UK seeks normal, predictable relations after the conflict ends and that sanctions are a blunt tool aimed at limiting Russia’s war‑financing, with the UK’s economy largely insulated. Casey noted that the UK does not participate in the Peace Council, but works with G7 partners on frozen assets. He also said the UK views Russia as a threat rather than an enemy and supports a trilateral Russia‑Ukraine‑US settlement framework. The ambassador highlighted that the UK remains committed to the UN and to a stable international order.
