Russian Ambassador to Bangladesh, Alexander Mantytsky, has stated that Moscow is prepared to work with any leader from Bangladesh who is willing to engage in an equal dialogue with Russia, during his interview on the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
“We are ready to collaborate with any leader or government elected by the people of Bangladesh, provided they are open to a respectful and equitable dialogue with Russia,” Mantytsky said.
On August 5, amid widespread anti-government protests, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and left the country. A provisional government was subsequently formed, with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus appointed as its head on August 6.
Following the resignation, riots erupted in several cities, primarily driven by students frustrated with high unemployment and limited opportunities. Prior to Sheikh Hasina's resignation, the students had been protesting against job quota systems favoring relatives of those who participated in the 1971 war of independence. The protests escalated into violent clashes as the situation in the country deteriorated.
