"The British Conservative government has a message for the Kremlin: If you try to threaten this country, if you use chemical weapons and you don't abide by international rules, then your country will pay a very high price," Mr Hunt said.
Previously, in March 2018, former GRU officer Sergey Skripal and his daughter Julia were poisoned in Salisbury. This incident caused a major international scandal. London accused Russia of being involved in this incident. Moscow denied this accusation and has repeatedly proposed a joint investigation.
