RUSSIA has hit back at Britain today as the Kremlin said it would not accept "baseless accusations" against Moscow or "language of ultimatum" from the UK.

Tensions between the two nations are reaching boiling point as the Kremlin reacted this morning to the latest from London.

Theresa May has this afternoon imposed harsh retaliatory measures on Russia, including the expulsion of 23 high-level diplomats - the biggest such dismissal in 30 years.
Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov this morning reiterated Moscow’s claim the Kremlin had “no connection” to the poisoning of double agent Sergei Skripal in Salisbury and issued a stark warning to the UK.
