Britain’s tough new warning to Russia

Published November 14, 2017 9:44pm ET



On Monday evening, Prime Minister Theresa May announced that Britain will do more to counter Russian aggression.

Offering a “very simple message for Russia,” May lamented Russian President Vladimir Putin’s activities over the past three years. “Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea was the first time since the Second World War that one sovereign nation has forcibly taken territory from another in Europe.” The Prime Minister continued, “Since then, Russia has fomented conflict in the Donbas, repeatedly violated the national airspace of several European countries, and mounted a sustained campaign of cyber espionage and disruption.”
