UK Calls Out Russian Interference

The United States is not the only Western nation under Russian attack.
     British officials say the Kremlin is actively working to undermine its elections and sow discord, and that over the past year, "Russian cyber operatives have attacked Britain's media, telecommunications and energy sectors."
     Prime Minister Theresa May, in a speech earlier this week, named specific Russian actions and issued a warning to president Vladimir Putin:
     "Russia has repeatedly violated the national airspace of several European countries and mounted a sustained campaign of cyber espionage and disruption.
     This has included meddling in elections and hacking the Danish Ministry of Defence and the Bundestag among many others.
     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."
