The UK is in literally no position to do anything at all about Russia, and certainly not over what I'm sorry to say is (in global terms) a very minor incident.
I can only assume that the idea that the UK can "do something about" Russia stems from the same place as someone's lusicrous suggestion in another thread that Britain is a "global super power"; i.e. A complete misunderstanding of where we sit on the global hierarchy. Like someone forgot to post the memo that Britain WAS powerful at the height of the British empire... But those days are over.
So it's not really a matter of "should" morally, I guess. We CAN'T "do anything about Russia", and we shouldn't try because the attempt would cause nothing but harm.
DEFINITELY not over something that is quite blatantly an internal Russian political issue that happens to have spilled over. Its not like they're attacking the UK.
