On the eve of the withdrawal from the European Union, London decided to annoy Moscow a little more and unite the European Union members, so that they would impose new restrictions on Russian citizens who allegedly used chemical weapons and carried out cyber attacks in Europe.

So commented on the information about the next package of sanctions in the Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom. "They (messages - ed) show that official London, being on the verge of secession from the European Union, continues to look for any opportunities to finally exaggerate Western Europeans to increase sanctions pressure on Russia and make it more difficult for the future to normalize Russian-EU relations after Brexit," - said in the message of diplomatic mission. The embassy noted that in the absence of facts the British authorities are forced to operate with insinuations, speculation and unsubstantiated allegations. They recalled the staged himataks of the "White Helmets" in Syria, pointing out that the OPCW could not issue a report on the "failed provocation" in the Duma because of the position of the UK.

As for the alleged Russian cyber attacks, not a single evidentiary fact was given..

Meanwhile, "it is from London that we constantly hear threats of putting aggressive cyber-guns" in our country. Earlier on Monday, October 15, it became known that the foreign ministers of the EU countries had agreed on a new mechanism for adopting restrictive measures for the proliferation and use of chemical weapons.. “Now the EU will have the opportunity to impose sanctions on individuals and organizations involved in the development and use of chemical weapons, regardless of where it happens and their nationality,” the Council’s press service quoted RIA Novosti..
