Special Edition: Dissident Former Diplomat Ian Proud on UK-Russia Relations

Ian Proud was once Britain's man in Moscow.

A career diplomat of 24 years, he got to look in directly upon the withering relationship between the United Kingdom and Russia, in the crucial period from 2014 until 2019.

In fact, he rebuilt embassy staffing structures following the mass expulsion after the March 2018 Salisbury nerve agent attack.

Since then, Proud has been outspokenly critical on questions of UK-Russia relations.

This week, Philip and Andrew are trying to get into the British diplomat mindset as relations approach a crucial juncture.
