Bloomberg writes about the statement of the British Government. Journalists report that the United Kingdom has brought Russia to the highest level of its new registration scheme of foreign influence. Everyone who works in Britain on the Russian Federation and has not declared their activities in Firs risk being prisoners.
"The Kremlin is responsible for the unacceptable threats to our national security - from the pernicious cyberattacks, malicious attempts to intervene in our democratic processes to attempts to kill in this country," said the Interior Minister Ivett Cooper. It is noted that such a decision will enhance the sustainability of the United Kingdom to the hidden foreign influence on the political system, business, and scientific circles.
The government says the new scheme will be in effect since July this year. According to journalists, these changes occur against the background of tension between the United Kingdom and Russia after both countries sent two citizens to each other last month, which were related to embassies in London and Moscow.
In addition, last week, a coalition of European leaders, led by Prime Minister of Great Britain, Kir Starm and French President, Emmanuel Macron, eliminated the opportunity to soften sanctions against the Russian Federation through invasion of Ukraine and stated the need to increase pressure on the Kremlin and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
"Russia is pursuing an increasingly hostile policy against the United Kingdom and his interests - pursuing British diplomats, trying to undermine British policy through malicious intervention and kyberoperatives, as well as recruiting spies to carry out acts of arson and sabotage," the Minister of Foreign Affairs said. The official website of the UK government explains that Firs is a fundamental component of the national security law, approved in 2023.
The scheme will have to register persons-physical and legal-which operate within any agreement with government agencies of the Russian Federation: President of Russia, government, agencies and authorities, armed forces, intelligence services, police, judicial bodies, etc. We will remind, on March 30, Bloomberg journalists told Trump's telephone conversation and older.
