London remains unfriendly toward Moscow so Russian President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to congratulate Keir Starmer on the Labour Party victory in UK parliamentary election, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, Paralel.Az reports citing TASS.

"I don’t think so. Britain is an unfriendly country. Why would we do that?" he told reporters, when asked a question on the subject.

Asked whether Putin welcomed Starmer's win, Peskov said: "Everything depends on his initiatives. It is very unlikely that he will present any peaceful and creative initiatives."
