The United Kingdom, including its government, military and citizens, featured in reports on security, migration and economic strain.

Vzglyad reported clashes at an anti-migrant protest in Gosport, while Lenta.ru relayed Bloomberg’s account of prolonged job cuts. Several outlets covered Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s legal challenge to police searches linked to an Epstein investigation. Lenta.ru also relayed Senator Elena Perminova’s claim that Britain, France and Germany posed the main threats to Kaliningrad.
