Alexander Yakovenko, the Ambassador of Russia to the United Kingdom: "We don't see any cooperation from Britain, I think that the attitude here is hostile. And we are most worried about the British stocking such a hysteric in the media that a bad situation is created around the Russian citizens, who come to visit, live, or work here. And of course, there are threats, addressed not only to the journalists but also to the diplomats, and also to the ordinary Russian citizens".
