Boris Johnson to tell Russia to 'keep nose' out of European elections

British foreign secretary says Moscow must 'show they can be trusted again' amid fears it is meddling with democratic processes

Boris Johnson, the British foreign secretary, will tell Russia to "keep its nose" out of western democratic processes when he visits Moscow in the coming weeks.

The UK defence secretary, Michael Fallon, said there had been a step change in Russia's behaviour in recent years, and that Johnson planned to raise the subject during a meeting scheduled with the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov.
