According to RIA news agency
- Says that British accusations are unacceptable
- British officials will be first to know about Russia's response over Skripal case
- Russian response to British measures will come "very soon, I promise you that"
Some response by Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov. Cable is falling to session lows at the moment, to 1.3924. Blink and you miss it. That was a rather quick drop from 1.3950 levels from before Lavrov's comments.
Geopolitical tensions escalating, not good news for the UK and sterling.
Meanwhile, we're hearing from the Kremlin on the matter as well:
- Will not have to wait long for Russia's response to British measures
- Russia does not understand British position on Skripal poisoning
- British accusations are not backed up by evidence
- British position is irresponsible
