British Prime Minister Theresa May wants the EU countries to also accuse Moscow of involvement in the poisoning of former GRU colonel Sergey Skripal and his daughter. For this purpose, according to the publication, Britain will share classified information with its allies.

In addition, the British Prime Minister hopes to convince his EU partners of the need to step up criticism of the Russian authorities.

"British officials said the world, including the EU, needed to show Russia that the first use of a nerve agent in Europe since the end of World War II would not go unpunished," the news agency reported./.
