MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the Russian Parliament committee on defense held a meeting with their British colleagues to discuss the situation in Syria and Ukraine.
"We do not comment on committee overseas travel. The committee will make a report on UK-Russia relations in a few months," the media officer told RIA Novosti.
In late January, a cross-party working group on relations with Russia has been reconstituted in the British Parliament to start work on improving ties between London and Moscow. The group was formally set up in November 2015 but has been inactive since then.
In October, Russia's Ambassador to the United Kingdom Alexander Yakovenko said that London had almost completely suspended political dialogue with Moscow in light of Russia’s stance on the Syrian civil war and the Ukrainian crisis.
