Moscow - Over time, the media and political campaign of the United Kingdom against Russia seems to show more clearly its tactical objectives: demonize President Vladimir Putin and boycott the World Cup.

The case of the supposed poisoning of the double agent Serguei Skripal, whom nobody has been able to see since the incident that occurred on the 4th, is used as an argument for any approach from London, experts stand out here.

First, it served as a justification for the launch by the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, of an ultimatum to Russia, without taking into account that these are two powers with nuclear weapons. Moscow showed a lot of patience and nothing serious happened.

Second, London used the spy case to start a war against Moscow in the diplomatic field, by expelling 23 officials from the Russian embassy in the United Kingdom, knowing of the Kremlin's just reaction to these cases of responding to that gesture. Third, the British Foreign Minister, Boris Johnson, directly accuses the Russian president, after knowing his overwhelming victory in recent elections, to be the one who personally ordered the poisoning of Skripal, even without appearing.

Fourth, May announces, again on the basis of the case of the double agent, the application of more sanctions and advances that he will deliver samples to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), although he denied collaboration with Russia in that body.

Moscow's request was to take the case to the OPCW, where each party had to provide evidence to justify their arguments.

Fifth, Johnson himself attacks the celebration in Russia of the World Cup, which at the time London chose unsuccessfully to host such games next summer, when comparing that fact with the Olympics in 1936, in fascist Germany.

The spokeswoman of the Russian Chancellery, Maria Zajarova, denounced that with it London put in evidence its true objective, that is, create an image of Russia's enemy, with provocations and offenses, to block the World Cup, she said.

With this the British Chancellor promotes the campaign to put Putin as a dictator, perhaps to seek a justification of why the West could not make a dent in his popularity in Russia, which his people abide by as a symbol of national unity.

Sixth, the British press reveals efforts by London for other Western nations to expel Russian diplomats from their capitals, which seems to demonstrate growing doubts about what happened, indeed, in the case of Skripal.

In fact, the head of the department of arms control of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Vladimir Yermakov, hinted that, as happened in other cases, London could be behind a staging of a case of poisoning to blame Moscow.

The Eurasian giant, accused of interference in Syria, was actually called to combat the terrorism that the West promoted, and subjected to sanctions of all kinds, which responded with countermeasures for the benefit of its economy.

In spite of all this, Putin demonstrated on the first day the advances in military matters and spoke of a technological leap based on the progress made in the war sphere, which is, making Russia a modern country in all its extension.

Instead of achieving the fall of Putin's popularity, the disintegration of Russia, the economic collapse or submission to foreign policy in Moscow, the West gets the opposite and therefore, seems now doomed to force actions.

Hence, the crusade initiated by the United Kingdom seems to fit into this new phase of the dispute between Russia and the West, in a task that, by all accounts, is drawn scabrous and with unpredictable results.
