The head of the British Ministry of Defense, speaking of Moscow's intention to expel British diplomats, could not restrain himself and advised Russia to "go and shut up". "What we will do - we will see how Russia will respond to what we have done. This is a completely cruel and outrageous act, which Russia arranged in Salisbury. We responded to it. To be honest, Russia should step aside and shut up (Russia should go away and shut up), "RIA Novosti quoted him as saying..

Williamson also stressed that London closely follows every step of Moscow. "But it will be wrong to give their response an estimate ahead of time," he added.. Earlier, the head of Britain, Theresa May accused the poisoning of Skrypal Russia and made a number of loud statements about the severance of diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation and the expulsion of our diplomats from the country. However, the Russian Foreign Ministry is ready to respond toughly to such actions and will "necessarily" send out British diplomats.
