USA: Russia was behind toxic attack in England

washington - The United States holds the Russian government responsible for the assassination attempt on a former double spy and its daughter in England with the nerve gas Novitsjok. That's what spokeswoman Heather Nauert of Foreign Affairs said. She promised Moscow new sanctions. They will take effect in two weeks.

Nauert read a statement Wednesday that states that the Americans have established that Russia has used chemical or biological weapons, which violates the international agreements, and used against their own citizens.

According to the NBC channel, the most important measure is an export ban for goods that are sensitive in the field of national security. Secondly, if the Kremlin does not adjust its policy on chemical weapons, consideration should be given to the abolition of diplomatic relations, the suspension of Aeroflot's ability to fly to the US or even the cessation of virtually the entire import and export..
