UK threatens Russia boycott the world Cup 2018 because of the situation in Syria

Великобритания угрожает России бойкотом ЧМ-2018 по футболу из-за ситуации в Сирии

The British foreign Secretary Boris Johnson in an interview with British newspaper The Sun said that Russia may “turn into a pariah state” because of the actions in Syria. He believes that “the attitude of the world toward Russia tougher”. “If they continue to act the same, they completely lose any sympathy or admiration in the world”, – quotes the Johnson TASS.

Britain and the US consider a”number of opportunities”to put pressure on Russia to change its position, “this includes a boycott of world Cup 2018 held in Russia, on the part of British officials.”
