A leaked Russian report calls Lord Peter Mandelson a key intermediary. It claims Kremlin agents leaned on him to reach UK leaders. The paper brands him a central connection to British insiders. Mandelson left government years ago but stays in the House of Lords as a Labour peer. He continues party work.
The dossier first appeared in The Telegraph. Additional outlets reported the claim next. Canadian officials gave no reply. This fuels fears about Europe’s espionage threat to senior politicians.
