Theresa May has given Russia until midnight GMT to respond but Russia has said it will not co-operate with the UK inquiry until it has been given a sample of the substance used and foreign minister Sergei Lavrov described claims of state involvement as "rubbish".
I don't think I'll try holding my breath.

It was late this night when I read Skybirds response to my comments
I feel that it may come to this-A deep diplomatically crisis between England/NATO and Russia. Or if it goes really bad a state of war between Russia and NATO And another Russian have been found dead, killed. Are Putin playing a high risk game or is someone somewhere in the Russian agency acting on his or acting on their own ? If it is Putin who have gave the order - Then the question is: What is his purpose/his goal ? If it is someone else-Putin not aware off or haven't ordered this Why is the only question here. Markus |

As Mr Quatro said, the next one has been killed in England.
It seems Putin sees no risk in doing what he does, he even boasted: Vladamir Putin made the threats during a television appearance in 2010 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a8243206.html Also, a few days ago: "Russian state television has warned “traitors” and Kremlin critics that they should not settle in England because of an increased risk of dying in mysterious circumstances. “Don’t choose England as a place to live. Whatever the reasons, whether you’re a professional traitor to the motherland or you just hate your country in your spare time, I repeat, no matter, don’t move to England,” the presenter Kirill Kleymenov said during a news programme on Channel One, state TV’s flagship station. “Something is not right there. Maybe it’s the climate. But in recent years there have been too many strange incidents with a grave outcome. People get hanged, poisoned, they die in helicopter crashes and fall out of windows in industrial quantities,” Kleymenov said." Also sad is the US and Trump's 'friendship' towards Putin. "Donald Trump’s caprice is not Mrs May’s fault. But she is in charge of Brexit – a pointless hindrance to coordination with fellow European democracies. She states often that UK exit from the EU signals no reduction in commitment to European security. It is sad that this even needs saying."

The deadline has passed and as expected, the Russians failed to respond so Mrs May will be briefed by senior intelligence chiefs in Downing Street ahead of giving an update to MPs later.
She will make a statement to the House of Commons after midday's Prime Minister's Questions. The Kremlin said any steps by the PM would lead to "retaliatory measures" and if I'm to be honest, that does concern me because Russia will probably act disproportionally.

Well the russian reaction (reaction? really??) maybe disproportionate, but on the other hand will it be better to appease Russia, or better, Putin?
I take it that Putin looks at the "elections", and however rigged and faulty they will be (lacking alternatives for reasons of killing or jailing political competitors and critics) it is important for alpha animals to present themselves in the best of light and as the shining winners, especially when it comes to exterior politics and "patriotism". Being caught red-handed in dirty operations is not what Putin appreciates. True, the UK/Russia double agents certainly knew what they did and probably never slept well again after defecting (innocence is not a fitting word), but killing their children, killing Putin critics and risking the killing of british innocents in a collateral damage on english grounds.. It also may be possible that they may have been killed by other secret services for whatever reason, of course. If you read Smiley's people it may be all possible. But the use of that special Sarin-successor makes any non-russian interference unlikely. Regarding the support of Europe to the Uk this is self-evident, the question is what we can do. Threatening to shut down RT (Russia today) seems to have hit a nerve. It also shows how "independent and neutral" the latter obviously is... lol

Russia is fast becoming a rogue state and if this keeps up we may well see a return of the cold war.
