Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged against interference in Russian-British relations after the head of MI6 described the nation as a “declining power” and criticised the Kremlin’s “reckless” behaviour.
Putin stressed on Friday evening that Richard Moore, chief of MI6, is “new” to the role as he suggested the spy chief would “revisit his assessments” of Moscow. Moore, who began in the role in October, described Russia as an “objectively declining power economically and demographically” as he struck out against the Kremlin’s actions.
