We express our strong protest in the
wake of the decision taken by a number of EU and NATO member countries to expel
Russian diplomats.
We consider this as an unfriendly
step that is not consistent with the goals and interests of establishing the
underlying reasons and searching for the perpetrators of the incident that
occurred in the town of Salisbury on March 4. The provocative gesture of the
so-called solidarity of these countries with London, which blindly followed the
British authorities in the so-called “Skripal case” and which never got around
to sort out the circumstances of the incident, is a continuation of the
confrontational policy to escalate the situation.
Presenting unfounded charges against
Russia in the absence of explanations of what happened and refusing to engage
in meaningful interaction, the British authorities have de facto adopted a
prejudiced, biased as well as hypocritical stance.
This is an attempt on the lives of
Russian citizens on the territory of Great Britain. Despite our repeated requests
for information addressed to London, Russia does not have any information in
this regard. British allies don’t have any objective and exhaustive data and
blindly follow the principle of Euro-Atlantic unity at the expense of common
sense, the rules of civilised state-to-state dialogue and the principles of
international law. It goes without saying that this unfriendly move by this
group of countries will not go unnoticed, and we will respond to it.
