British Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt called on the European Union to increase pressure on Russia and introduce new more stringent sanctions. He said this during a speech at the Washington Institute of Peace. According to him, the Kremlin's policy threatens security for many countries of the world. Hunt confident that anti-Russian measures will help stop Moscow's "aggression".

"And today the United Kingdom is asking its allies to go even further, urging the European Union to ensure that its sanctions against Russia are comprehensive and that we truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the United States," RIA Novosti quotes him.. At the same time, the Foreign Minister stressed that the purpose of sanctions is to punish Russia for alleged involvement in the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia.

Evidence of Moscow's guilt, as always, no. In August, the administration of Donald Trump announced her package of sanctions for allegedly using Moscow chemical weapons for poisoning in the UK.
