News Russian foreign twitter is a network of leading companies in the worlds of diversified media, news, education, and information services. BRITAIN has hit back at Russia in an escalating Twitter war between the two heavyweight countries. As tensions rise in the fallout of a nerve agent attack in Salisbury last week the Foreign Office posted a video revealing the Kremlin’s campaign of aggression against the west.
The Foreign Office hit back at the Kremlin after a tense week following the Salisbury attack A message read “the use of a nerve agent in Salisbury follows a well-established pattern” alongside a timeline of examples – including Alexander Litvinenko’s poisoning, a cyber attack on German parliament and the attack on a former Spy in the UK last week. The slick video ends with a bold statement of “the Kremlin wants to dismantle the international rules based system”. The rallying cry was met with support from people online, as one person replied “Go on lad! Russia on democracy in real time in OUR time. It is almost certain the powerful Novichok nerve agent attack on the Russian spy was a state sponsored assassination bid by Vladimir Putin Kremlin spox Peskov: Russia, having nothing to do with Sergei Skripal poisoning, is ready to cooperate with UK, but sees no reciprocity. It comes after Valdimir Putin missed Prime Minister Theresa May’s deadline to explain Russia’s involvement in an attack which hospitalised more than 30 people.
Former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are fighting for their lives after being exposed to nerve gas. As questions swirl over how the nerve agent came to be used in Salisbury, the Russian Embassy has been vocal in denying the country’s involvement. Among many irate tweets published yesterday it wrote “the actions of the UK authorities are a clear provocation” and “the incident appears to be yet another crooked attempt by the UK authorities to discredit Russia”. This morning the Foreign Office showed it won’t back down through the video – which has now been watched more than 50,000 times. Each example of aggression in recent years is overlaid on a picture of Putin’s face. Mrs May called an emergency meeting of her National Security Council today after her midnight ultimatum for an explanation expired last night. But Britain received support from the US, Germany, France and other EU leaders.
President Trump told Mrs May: We are with you all the way. Tensions rocketed after the Russian Embassy in London formally refused Mrs May’s demand to come clean over the attack with a series of tweets posted from 5. Theresa May announced she would kick out 23 diplomats in the wake of the Sergei Skripal case. The Russian Embassy has responded by calling the expulsion ‘unacceptable, unjustified and shortsighted’. The Prime Minister also confirmed government officials and members of the Royal family would not be attending the World Cup in Russia.
The Foreign Office has issued a warning to Brits travelling to Russia warning of possible ‘anti-British sentiment or harassment’. Skripal and daughter Yulia remain in a critical condition in hospital after being exposed to a nerve agent in Salisbury on March 4. Another cordon has now been set up 25 miles away in Gillingham, Dorset. Russian exiles have now been asked by cops to help identify a mystery couple aged between 35 and 40 seen close to Skripal and his daughter before they collapsed. Russian exile Nikolai Glushkov was discovered dead with ‘strangulation marks’ on his neck on Monday night by daughter Natalia Glushkova in New Malden, South West London. Russia will meet with a response. She will now return to the Commons to declare the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and daughter Yulia a state—sponsored assassination bid — almost certainly ordered by President Vladimir Putin.
7 It was stated that the actions of the UK authorities are a clear provocation and that the Russian Federation was not involved in the incident that took place in Salisbury on 4 March, 2018. 7 Moscow will not respond to London’s ultimatum until it receives samples of the chemical substance to which the UK investigators are referring. 7 Britain must comply with the Chemical Weapons Convention which stipulates joint investigation into the incident, for which Moscow is ready. Kremlin for the attack, including expulsions, economic sanctions, travel bans and asset freezes. Today she announced 23 Russian diplomats would be kicked out in the wake of the attack.
Downing Street was delighted by the support offered to Mrs May by Western leaders on Tuesday night. Mrs May spoke to President Trump who was on board Air Force One. The two leaders agreed on the need for consequences for those who use these heinous weapons in flagrant violation of international norms. The PM received pledges of solidarity in conversations with French president Emmanuel Macron, Germany’s Angela Merkel, and the EU. 7 Without that, there can be no sense in any statements from London. The incident appears to be yet another crooked attempt by the UK authorities to discredit Russia.
