UNITED NATIONS–Russia told Britain at the United Nations Security Council on Thursday that “you’re playing with fire and you'll be sorry” over its accusations that Moscow was to blame for poisoning a former Russian spy and his daughter.

It was the second showdown between Russia and Britain at the world body since the March 4 nerve agent attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in an English town. Russia, which requested Thursday’s council meeting, denies any involvement.
