Theresa May touts response to Russia’s ‘reckless’ use of chemical weapons in Salisbury
CNNCNN — UK Prime Minister Theresa May on Sunday lauded Europe’s response to Russia’s “reckless” use of chemical weapons. “The past year has tragically proven those threats to be ever more real – not least through the reckless use of a chemical weapon on our own streets by two agents of the Russian Intelligence Services. “Together with our allies, in response to the attack in Salisbury, we coordinated the largest ever collective expulsion of Russian intelligence officers, fundamentally degrading Russian intelligence capability for years to come. And our law enforcement agencies, through painstaking investigations and cooperation with our allies, produced the irrefutable evidence that enabled our Crown Prosecution Service to bring charges against those responsible.” The comments come in response to the poisoning of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, who were found slumped on a park bench in the southern English city of Salisbury on March 4.
