On Monday, the chief of Britain’s foreign intelligence service issues a stern warning to the Kremlin.
MI6 chief Alex Younger told Russia not to underestimate the West.
The warning comes after a brazen nerve agent attack on a retired double agent in England.
The attack stoked fears about Russian covert activity abroad.
Younger has only given two major speeches in his career as MI6 Chief.
This speech ranged across the global threats faced by Britain as it prepares to exit the European Union in less than four months.
Russia is the only national adversary named in his scripted speech.
