The British Parliament’s Intelligence Committee on Tuesday released a long-delayed report into Russia’s intelligence service and influence operations against the United Kingdom.
The report follows two decades of extensive Russian oligarchic wealth sheltering in London, and the Russian GRU military intelligence service’s 2018 attempted murder of one of its defectors using a highly toxic nerve agent. The Russians’ disregard for the British public was appalling — an innocent woman died after mistaking the discarded nerve agent delivery device for a perfume bottle. The attack shook Britain’s threat perception of President Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
