The Russians and UK have been fighting a good bit after the Russians decided to assassinate a former spy on UK territory. This latest round had 44 reporters in Russia listed with their pictures on various public websites a week after the Russians claimed they were opening an investigation of BBC for violating "fairness standards". If the Russians have fairness standards that would be news to a lot of people.
The current tit-for-tat was started after the UK cited RT, that scrupulously unbiased Russian news agency, was cited for biased reporting on the link between Russia and the Novichok poisoning. Terresa May had already made it clear that the Russians were behind that attempt and she did not like it very much. But, with their usual tact, the Russians are going to escalate this already bad situation by making it worse. You have to love these guys.
