UK welcomes international response to Russia바카라 사이트檚 chemical attack on British soil
The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, today welcomed Britain's partners coming together to expel over 100 Russian officials following the Salisbury attack.
Writing in The Times, the Foreign Secretary welcomed the fact that, to date, more than 20 nations have collectively decided to remove more than 100 Kremlin officials. According to Secretary Johnson this is a 바카라 사이트渢urning point바카라 사이트� in the West바카라 사이트檚 attitude towards 바카라 사이트渞eckless바카라 사이트� Russian ambitions.
바카라 사이트淣ever before have so many countries come together to expel Russian diplomats바카라 사이트�, wrote the Foreign Secretary, and added that 바카라 사이트渙ur allies have responded because they share our view of the threat posed by the Kremlin to their values and security바카라 사이트�.
The mass expulsions are a response to the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal with a Russian military-grade nerve agent known as 바카라 사이트淣ovichok바카라 사이트� on 4th March in Salisbury, England. A police officer who went to their aid was also seriously affected. Another 35 people were forced to seek medical treatment because they were nearby when the nerve agent was released.
After the attack, the British 바카라 사이트 gave the Kremlin an opportunity to explain these actions. But this request for information was ignored, leaving the 바카라 사이트 with no choice but to conclude that the Russian state was guilty of attempted murder in a British city, using a lethal nerve agent banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention.
According to the Foreign Secretary the use of a banned nerve agent on British soil falls into a wider pattern of President Putin바카라 사이트檚 바카라 사이트渞eckless behaviour바카라 사이트�. He quoted that in the past 4 years; the Kremlin has annexed Crimea, ignited the flames of conflict in the Donbas region of Ukraine, hacked the German Bundestag, interfered in elections across the world, sought to hide Assad바카라 사이트檚 use of poison gas and joined his onslaught against the Syrian people.
바카라 사이트淭he western alliance took decisive action and Britain바카라 사이트檚 partners came together against the Kremlin바카라 사이트檚 reckless ambitions바카라 사이트�, the Foreign Secretary concluded.
