A Guardian column by Rafael Behr argues that Brexit supporters cannot accept that Vladimir Putin welcomed the UK's exit from the EU. Behr writes that Russian meddling probably did not change the 2016 referendum result, but says the Kremlin's motives for wanting to undermine the EU still matter. Commentators are debating the point on social media.
Why now: Fresh Guardian commentary linking Brexit to Putin's support has reignited debate over Russia's role in the referendum.
