The relations between Russia and Britain "are gradually going back to normal," Russian Ambassador to Britain Alexander Yakovenko said.
"British investors have confirmed the priority of Russia for their interests, and the bilateral relations are gradually going back to normal," Yakovenko said at the opening of the Russian banking forum held under the aegis of the Adam Smith Institute in London earlier this week, Interfax reported.
Russia "believes that opportunities for broadening business cooperation with the U.K. and British investors will only grow," he said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
