UK Prime Minister says Russia interfered in Brexit vote

Original: Russia behind Britain's Brexit vote, UK prime minister admits for first time

The UK prime minister has admitted for the first time that Russia interfered in Britain's 2016 Brexit referendum. The statement is a significant shift from previous official positions, which stopped short of directly blaming Moscow for the vote to leave the European Union. The admission has drawn wide attention online, with commenters noting its implications for UK-Russia relations and the ongoing debate over the legitimacy of the referendum result.

Why now: It is a major political admission contradicting years of official ambiguity about foreign interference in the Brexit vote.
