The British authorities, together with their foreign friends, are working on a "wide range of measures" in the matter of countering Russia. This was in the course of today's joint briefing with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, said British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. "We are working with partners to develop measures aimed at countering cyberwar, our special services are cooperating. We are working to combat the misinformation that comes from Russia, with fake news, "RIA Novosti quotes the head of the Foreign Office. He said that he enlisted the support of the allies in the NATO bloc. "We share the view that Sergey Skripal's poisoning is not an isolated issue. This is a model of the irresponsible behavior of the Russian state, this behavior continues for many years - from the Russian annexation of the Crimea to cyber attacks and involvement in the Syrian war. The Russian state has shown itself, "Johnson said..
The British noted that in the near future London will decide "how to deal with money obtained through corruption". "We in the UK have the opportunity to do this," stressed the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In his opinion, Russia ignores international law and "our values".
Recall that the freeze in the British banks of Russian state accounts, if law enforcers find that they can harm the subject of the queen, threatened from the rostrum of Prime Minister Teresa May on March 14. So hysterically, the British authorities continue to react to the poisoning of the former Russian intelligence agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia with an unknown chemical substance. The incident occurred on March 4 in the town of Salisbury. London almost immediately blamed Moscow for this, almost after a few hours having established that the combat poison is a kind of Soviet development with the cute name "Novice". Russia categorically denies its involvement in the poisoning of the Fiddles.
President Vladimir Putin said the day before that any sane person understands that such accusations against Moscow are nonsense, no one would have allowed himself such a day before the presidential elections and the World Cup. "If it was a military poisonous substance, people, of course, would perish on the spot. Russia has no such means, we destroyed all our chemical weapons under the supervision of international observers, "said the leader of the state.
His words lead the BBC.
