Britain and the Netherlands support imposing sanctions on Russia for poisoning Navalny – Abroad – News

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Rab has said that Britain and its partners in Germany and France are united in their response to the poisoning of Navalny.

Meanwhile, Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Block said on Twitter that the Netherlands agrees with France and Germany that the Russian authorities are responsible for poisoning Navalny.

Germany reportedly warned Russia on Wednesday that sanctions would be inevitable if it did not cooperate and help clarify the circumstances of the poisoning.

On August 20, Navalny was ill during a flight from Tomsk to Moscow, the pilot made an emergency landing at Omsk airport, and Navalny was taken unconscious to Omsk Hospital with signs of poisoning. On August 22, Navalny was transferred from Russia to Germany, where he was treated by the Charite clinic at the University of Berlin.

On 2 September, Germany stated that indisputable evidence had been obtained that Navalny had been poisoned by a nerve-paralyzing warfare substance belonging to the Novichok group.

This conclusion has also been confirmed by French and Swedish laboratories and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

On September 22, Navalni was discharged from a Berlin hospital.

Western countries have asked Russia for explanations, but the Kremlin has denied any involvement in the assassination attempt.
