After the reveal, which former Russian agent Sergey Skripal and his daughter poisoned in England by a Russian-made toxic substance that crashed the nervous system, caused tension in the relations between the two countries.

British Prime Minister Theresa May said Russia was responsible "most likely" for the assassination attempt. The prime minister voiced the agenda of deporting Russian diplomats and resorting to financial sanctions.

While Russia has rejected the accusations so far, Russia has warned that they will respond to the Britain "punitive measures". Moscow also threatened that UK media organizations could be sent from Russia if Britain's broadcasting license of the Russian state-run television channel RT is canceled. Moscow suggests Russia's reputation is being swayed before the upcoming presidential election.

On the other hand, in this tense period, the attitude of the USA was also curious. The White House escaped blaming Russia for the first time. In a statement made by the British Prime Minister's Office, Theresa May received the support of US President Donald Trump. Spoke on the phone May and Trump agreed that Moscow should give clear answers to questions about how Novichok nerve agent is used.
