UK Tightens Rules for Russian Agents After Hybrid Attacks

The UK put Russia in the top tier of its new Foreign Influence Registration Scheme, meaning anyone working for the Russian state in Britain will need to declare their activity or face jail.

“The Kremlin has been responsible for unacceptable threats to our national security — from damaging cyber-attacks, malign attempts to interfere in our democratic processes and attempted assassinations in this country,” Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said Tuesday in an emailed statement.
