      That's a fair gripe, but the actual quote is “weaken the Russian State’s influence on its near neighbours”, not the UK, so you're doing a bit of misleading yourself ;-). And because it's 'weaken Russia's influence by inserting UK/US influence' it's not benign/defensive the way it sounds without context. So "weaken Russia" shouldn't be in quotes, but it's a fair summary of the article's content.

      The leaked documents page they link to also accuses the skripal poisoning of being a British op, I do not trust that site lol.
