jill. now, as we heard from melissa, the uk, mr.ohnson believes it was a direct order from vladimir putin. where does this make the relationship between the countries? where does it stand? we know other countries backed the uk in condemning russia. >> yes, i mean you have the allies. you have the united states, france and germany who have backed up in a statement issued a few days ago what the british are saying and alleging. now, the reaction here in russia is furious, especially furious as it touches on president putin himself and you have heard that very, very sternly. i think, you know, what they are -- this is a sensitive time, too, because don't forget tomorrow, today is saturday, tomorrow is sunday. that is the presidential election here in russia. there's great sensitivity about the timing of all this. some russians, i would say probably quite a few russians here believe that this was all a set up to hurt president putin, as he goes into this election. so, the sensitivity of it is very great. >> absolutely. thank you so much
