		</div><p>Britain&#8217;s Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has praised the robust response of the UK’s Nato allies to the Salisbury Novichok attack, suggesting it would make Russia think twice in future.</p>
<p><em>“I think in the quieter moments in the Kremlin they will think they probably paid too high a price for what they decided to do in Salisbury,”</em> he told a cyber security summit.</p>
<p>The Novichok attack, targeting a former Russian spy and his daughter in March last year, led to the expulsion of 153 Russian diplomats by Nato allies.</p>
<p>Addressing ambassadors from Nato member states at a cyber security conference in London, Mr Hunt welcomed their strong reaction to the attack, which he said would have a deterrent effect.</p>
<p>He said: <em>“It isn’t just about resilience, it’s also changing the calculations of your opponents as to whether they wish to do this in the first place.</em></p>
<p><em>“I think Russia thought they would get away with it.</em></p>
<p><em>“The fact there was the largest expulsion of Russian diplomats/spies around the world will have done something to change their calculations in terms of what they choose to do in future.”</em></p>
