Putin is deliberately attacking the UK and trying to destroy NATO as he sees it as an existential threat to his rule.
The UK could not be in a worse position right now. They are severely weakened because of Brexit, which Russia also engineered, and they are isolated from the EU. With Russia's Agent Orange in power, if the US does not come to the aid of the US after invoking NATO article 5, NATO is effectively toothless. Tillerson, as much as we thought was a Russian/Trump stooge, knew this and kept the alliance going. He has been fired for it.
NATO needs to choke off all his funds somehow or create more trouble for Putin domestically as well. If the US does not respond, Putin might as well have won his little cold war 2.0 and he'll move on to reclaim the Baltic states.
