In Kiev, they offered to “settle” on Britain so that it “hit sanctions on Putin’s entourage”

Britain needs to make its words about Russia and Russian nesting dolls a reality. This was stated by the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin, commenting on the recent statement by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who promised to open Russian-owned “matryoshka companies”.

“Johnson is, of course, still an eccentric, and often“ mows ”under him, but today he just made me happy,” Klimkin wrote on Facebook. According to him, Johnson’s promise to “disclose the “matryoshka dolls of companies owned by Russians” in order to determine the ultimate owners” is already something that “hit the interests of Putin’s circle, and not just Russia in the abstract.”

Now you need “on it (Johnson – ed.) sit down so that he really does it, ”added Klimkin. “The first one went, now it’s up to others in the West. This is where it will become clear who is worth what, ”the diplomat emphasized.

We will remind, on February 19, during a speech at the Munich Security Conference, Johnson warned that if Russia invades Ukraine, Britain “will make it impossible for Russian companies to receive funds from the London capital markets.” “And then we will open the matryoshka. Matryoshka of Russian companies and state-run corporations to identify those behind them, ”said Johnson, his words are quoted by the Gordon portal.
