(Reuters) -Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday criticised Britain's new Prime Minister Liz Truss for not being willing to compromise and mocked her for saying she did not know if the French president was a friend or an enemy.

Speaking at a news conference in Moscow, Lavrov said Truss' approach would not help Britain on the international stage.
