Sanctions for Skripal? Morawiecki and Merkel announce the reaction of the European Union
Leaders of both countries took part in the joint conference after the talks of the German government delegation in Poland. They announced a firm reaction of the European Council to Russia’s aggressive policy. The United Kingdom accused Russia of attempting to murder its citizen with the use of a nerve-numbing nervous system.
– We were talking about the latest attack in Great Britain (attempted murder of Sergei Skripal – editor’s note). The European Union should give a firm and not only symbolic answer. We want the Council to refer to the Russian attack in the conclusions after the summit – said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
– We have jointly condemned the use of a paralyzing agent in the United Kingdom. We stand hand in hand with Great Britain. I talked to the Prime Minister (Theresa – editor’s note) May on this subject. I hope that we will adopt the appropriate conclusions during the Council summit – said Chancellor Angela Merkel.
