Osaka: British Prime Minister Theresa May told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday that normal relations will not be restored until Moscow ends its “irresponsible and desta- bilising” activity, a Downing Street spokesperson said. The comments came as May met Putin on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Japan’s Osaka, their first formal face-to-face since the poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal last year. “She told the president that there cannot be a normalisation of our bilateral relationship until Russia stops the irresponsible and destabilising activity that threatens the UK and its allies -- including hostile interventions in other countries, disinforma- tion and cyber attacks,” the spokesperson said. May also told Putin that Britain “has irrefutable evidence that Russia was behind the attack” on the former spy. AFP  " !   4 6!  >!
