British royals and government ministers will not attend the World Cup in Russia, prime minister Theresa May said Wednesday as she blamed Moscow for the nerve agent attack on a former double agent.

“There will be no attendance by ministers-or indeed members of the royal family-at this summer’s World Cup in Russia,” May told lawmakers, as she announced the suspension of high level bilateral ties between London and Moscow.
