Rishi Sunak replaced Liz Truss as prime minister at the end of October following a failed tax reform idea that threw her out of favor and forced her to step down after a short term.
The new British Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party, Rishi Sunak, could not resist the question of the media that the Indian company, in which his wife has a stake, still continues to work in Russia.
The host of Sky News narrated the information that appeared in the information space about the fact that Sunak’s husband seems to have a stake in the Indian IT consulting company Infosys, and this company still has an office in Moscow and cooperates with the Russian Alfa Bank.

“I am an elected politician and I am here to discuss what my responsibility is. My wife is not,” Rishi Sunak replied.
The presenter agreed that although the prime minister’s wife is definitely not a British politician, such family business relationships seem odd in a situation where British taxpayers are subsidizing in Ukraine and hosts Ukrainians who are abroad because of the war in their homes. “It looks like your family is making money in a country with a Putin regime,” he said.
“I don’t think this is the case, and as I said, the activities of all the companies are their business. We have imposed significant sanctions and all the companies for which we are responsible are following them accordingly appropriately, sending a very clear response to Putin’s aggression,” Sunak said.
Asked if he could say the same about Infosys, the premier replied: “I am completely unaware of this because I am not associated with this company.”
Recall that the first leader Sunak called prime minister was the Ukrainian president.
