Merkel and Macron threatened Moscow with new sanctions
At the same time, Merkel refused to disclose what specific measures were being considered, limiting herself only to calling the Salisbury incident “a very serious challenge to general security.”
Macron, in turn, said that France would necessarily take "further action."
According to Danish Prime Minister Lars Löcke Rasmussen, the discussion of new restrictions on Moscow may take place in June at the next summit.
As for the promised expulsion of Russian diplomats from the EU, it can begin as early as Monday. Among the countries that expressed such an intention are the Czech Republic, the Baltic republics, Denmark, France, and others.
Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov noted that the idea of solidarity within the EU "is above common sense."
