Jerome Starkey, the defense editor at The Sun, has been accused by a Russian court of illegally crossing the border into Russia. The Kursk regional court issued an arrest warrant for Starkey and placed him on an international wanted list. This development has drawn a strong response from Downing Street, which has condemned the arrest warrant as an example of “desperate rhetoric” from the Russian government.
The incident highlights the tense political climate between the UK and Russia, with Starkey’s arrest further complicating relations. As of now, there are no further details on the specifics of the charges or the circumstances of the alleged border crossing.
