Russia v Rishi: Putin’s state TV mouthpieces say ‘racist’ Ukrainians won’t love Sunak like they did Boris but UK ‘will still want to destroy Russia’ under his leadership

• Putin’s ‘Iron Doll’ Olga Skabeyeva said Sunak should not expect love from Kyiv
• She said Boris Johnson is considered a greater friend to Ukraine than new PM
• Propagandist added that Britain will continue its bid to ‘destroy Russia’

Kremlin state TV propagandists have wasted no time in taking a swipe at Britain’s new prime minister Rishi Sunak.

Olga Skabeyeva, known as Putin’s Iron Doll, blasted the new Conservative leader, saying ‘racist’ Ukrainians won’t show him the same love they showed Boris Johnson.

Speaking on state-run Rossiya 1, the presenter said: ‘Of course, London’s commitment to destroying Russia is unlikely to change.

‘Admittedly in Kyiv, as expected, they’ve started crying.

‘For unclear reasons, Johnson, who travelled to Kyiv solely to improve his ratings, is for some reason considered a greater friend of Ukraine than Rishi Sunak is.’

Skabeyeva then took aim at ‘racist’ Ukraine, a common Russian attack line against Kyiv, saying they could never support Britain’s first ever PM of Asian descent.

She added: ‘Sunak shouldn’t expect the same love from Ukrainians.

‘After all, racism is an important component in the ideology of Ukrainian nationalists.

‘What’s more, we need to understand that London doesn’t need Kyiv’s love at all for its war with Moscow.’

Kremlin TV has regularly fired shots at Britain throughout the war, with Boris Johnson’s staunch support for Ukraine and fierce condemnation of Russia making him a regular target.

Liz Truss was also mocked in her brief stint in office by Russia.

Upon her resignation, foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said: ‘Britain has never known such a disgrace of a prime minister.

‘The catastrophic illiteracy and the queen’s funeral immediately after her audience with Liz Truss will be remembered.’

A guest on the political talkshow ‘Time Will Tell’ said Truss had possessed the three traits needed to thrive in British politics: ‘Stupidity, arrogance, and belligerence’. 

Truss has been the target of withering comments from Moscow since she visited in February as part of a fruitless drive by Western politicians to the invasion of Ukraine.

Russian officials took a dim view of Truss’s premiership from the outset and have revelled in her numerous gaffes.

Upon her appointment in September, Lavrov said Truss did not know how to compromise and questioned how the British leader could say she did not know whether French President Emmanuel Macron was a ‘friend or foe’.

Zakharova also on Thursday mocked Truss’ high-profile photo shoot in Estonia last year, where she donned a flak jacket and helmet to ride in a tank during a visit to British troops stationed in the Baltic country.

Along with her husband Yevgeny Popov, Skabeyeva has throughout the war spread baseless conspiracy theories, overstated Moscow’s war successes, parroted Kremlin lies about ‘Nazis’ in Ukraine, and issued dire warnings of World War Three and threats against the West. 

As a result, she has been branded a ‘monster’ by commentators, with other analysts suggesting her sabre-rattling rhetoric has marked a shift in the Kremlin’s tone.

She was previously involved in efforts to discredit the British investigation into the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal by Novichok nerve agent in the English city of Salisbury.

She has called Putin’s invasion an effort to ‘to protect people in Donbas from a Nazi regime’ and said that the decision to send Moscow’s forces into the country was ‘without exaggeration, a crucial junction in history.’
