MOSCOW (Sputnik) - UK Ambassador to Russia Deborah Bronnert s visit to the Russian Foreign Ministry was scheduled in advance, the British Embassy told Sputnik on Friday.
She showed a recent film in which one displaced woman, Kahambu Grace, said: âWe came here because of the violence. My mother and father have been killed. They are killing people and burning houses where we come from. We did not know what to do so we fled to Bulongo, but not long after Bulongo was attacked. We really do not know what to do or how to survive.â
The film and the aid programme is funded by the Foreign Office.
Pascale Barnich, country director for Marie Stopes International which is delivering the Foreign Office flagship programme on reproductive health, said she is waiting to hear whether an 18-month extension will be allowed.

It was not long ago that General Min Aung Hlaing, the leader of the recent military coup in Burma (also known as Myanmar), was being fêted by the UK.
In 2013, he met General Sir David Richards, the then head of Britain’s armed forces, who praised Burma’s “remarkable progress” in moving towards democracy and described Hlaing as “highly intelligent and well-intentioned”.
After decades of dictatorship, Burma’s military had freed its most high profile political prisoner, Aung San Suu Kyi, and was finally letting her run the country in league with the army.
UK training for Burma’s security apparatus soon followed Richards’ meeting with General Hlaing, and Suu Kyi spent a day at Britain’s top military academy, Sandhurst.
