This means that Russia is consciously working against the West and against the trans-Atlantic community, "the BBC Ukrainian Service quoted him as saying.. At the same time, Klimkin expressed the hope that a certain coalition would be created against the "Russian threat". Our country, allegedly, is dangerous to the world values ??of Western states. "We must honestly say, including for ourselves, that we are at the forefront of this struggle," he added..

The Minister asserts that Ukrainian experts can help the UK to investigate the case of the poisoning of Skripal and his daughter. "If it is proven - I'm sure it will be - that Russia is behind this ... What can Russia do?" Only to intimidate. The world is not afraid of Russia, "said Klimkin.
