Theresa May has accused Russia of meddling in elections and planting fake stories in the media in an extraordinary attack on its attempts to weaponise information in order to sow discord in the west.
The prime minister spoke out against the scale and nature of Russias actions during an address at the lord mayors banquet, saying it was threatening the international order on which we all depend.
Listing Russias attempts to undermine western institutions in recent years, she said: I have a very simple message for Russia. We know what you are doing. And you will not succeed. Because you underestimate the resilience of our democracies, the enduring attraction of free and open societies, and the commitment of western nations to the alliances that bind us.The UK will do what is necessary to protect ourselves, and work with our allies to do likewise.
