Moscow says a 1956 agreement has been axed in response to the UK's sanctions on six people in charge of the penal colony where Alexei Navalny died.

A 1956 agreement that allowed British boats to fish in the Barents Sea has been ripped up, in the latest sign of growing tensions between Moscow and the West.

The fishing deal was signed by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, but Russian politicians have now claimed it was never in the national interest.

…

Russia’s parliamentary speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said: “The British need to study some proverbs - ‘Russians harness the horse slowly, but ride it fast’.”

He told politicians that “the unscrupulous British” had eaten Russian fish for 68 years - declaring: “Now let them lose weight, get smarter.”

        Not that your function is any better than your form. You can do nothing but call people stupid.

        I can point at the real world and tell you that Russia holds Crimea. You can cry and delude yourself but you can’t argue. You can only call names.

        The irony is therefore that despite being the one calling the other stupid…

          So you believe in a literal sense all the maps drawn in the west that still call Crimea a part of Ukraine?

          Sevastopol belongs to Ukraine.

          Crimea belongs to Ukraine.

          What the fuck are you talking about
