On Thursday, Russian diplomacy mocked the announcement of the resignation of British Prime Minister Liz Terrace, after only six weeks of taking office and facing a series of crises.
"Britain has never seen such a disgrace caused by a prime minister," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on Telegram, minutes after Terrace announced her resignation.
British Prime Minister Liz Terrace announced today, Thursday, her resignation from her position, due to the repercussions of the dispute within her government over ways to confront the economic crisis that the country is going through.
In a statement outside the Prime Minister's Office in London, Trace said the resignation came after "she lost the ability to fulfill the promises she made when she ran for the leadership of the Conservative Party, and because party members did not believe in her plans."
The Trust indicated that a new leader of the Conservative Party will be elected within the next week, and that she will continue to lead the British government until then.
Britain's opposition Labor Party leader Keir Starmer has called for an immediate general election in the wake of Truss' resignation.
Starmer had said that the Conservative Party had shown that it no longer had a mandate to govern, and that it had destroyed the country's economy, as he put it.
Terrace's expected resignation came after days of pressure that forced her to apologize on Wednesday for committing mistakes, after retracting an economic plan that caused chaos in the markets, but at the same time she refused the opposition's demand for her to resign from her position.
