The Russian government has come out to confirm that President Vladimir Putin will not attend the Queen’s state funeral. This is coming amid the estranged relationship between Russia and the West, and the world has been reacting.
According to a Kremlin spokesman, a decision will be made on who will represent Russia at the service which is expected to take place on September 19 at Westminster Abbey.
He then wished the UK courage and perseverance in the face of this heavy, irreparable loss.
His words, “The most important events in the recent history of the United Kingdom are inextricably linked with the name of Her Majesty.”
“For many decades, Elizabeth II rightfully enjoyed the love and respect of her subjects, as well as authority on the world stage.”
“I wish you courage and perseverance in the face of this heavy, irreparable loss. I ask you to convey the words of sincere sympathy and support to the members of the royal family and all the people of Great Britain.”
WOW.
