Episode 25 takes a look at the fallout from the poisoning of two Russian nationals in Salisbury, England last month which led to what is said to be the “largest collective expulsion of Russian intelligence officers in history.”
I provide analysis on the determination from the British government that it was “highly likely” that Russia was responsible for the nerve agent attack.
I also assess the decision by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and the Irish government to expel a Russian diplomat in Ireland which sparked a debate about Ireland’s neutrality.
Plus, I investigate the conflicting narratives between Russia and the West on who the perpetrator of the attack was by examining the evidence that both are relying on.
