<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBoris Johnson will warn Russia to stop cyber attacks which threaten Britain\u2019s national security or face retaliation of a similar kind from the UK.<\/p>\n
He will say the UK has no malign intentions online but has the technical capability to fight cyber espionage.<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson is the first UK foreign secretary to visit Russia in five years.<\/p>\n
His trip follows Theresa May\u2019s accusation last month that Russia was trying to \u201cundermine free societies\u201d.<\/p>\n
BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins says that relations between the two countries are \u201cat best very bad, at worst, appalling\u201d.<\/p>\n
The UK prime minister warned in November about the risks of Russia\u2019s \u201csustained campaign of cyber espionage and disruption\u201d.<\/p>\n
Her criticisms were repeated by Ciaran Martin, chief executive of GCHQ\u2019s National Cyber Security Centre, who said that Russia was \u201cseeking to undermine the international system\u201d.<\/p>\n
At a meeting in Moscow later, Mr Johnson will tell his counterpart, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, that the UK does not accept Russia\u2019s \u201chostile\u201d behaviour.<\/p>\n
Ahead of that trip, Mr Johnson said that relations between the UK and Russia \u201chaven\u2019t been so bad for a very long time\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are areas in which Russia is behaving in a more hostile way towards our interests than at any time since the end of the Cold War.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will make clear\u2026 that there are things that we find extremely difficult to accept, and we can\u2019t accept.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two politicians are also set to discuss the threat posed to global security by North Korea, the search for a political settlement in Syria and preservation of the Iranian nuclear deal.<\/p>\n
Mr Johnson will raise the subject of the safety of English football fans when Russia hosts the World Cup next year.<\/p>\n
Russians were blamed for injuring more than 100 England supporters in Marseille during the 2016 European Football Championships.<\/p>\n
