"We understand, so to speak, the solidarity and the Euro-Atlantic and the other, but once again, sooner or later here, these allegations have to answer will have to them or something to back up, some evidence or bring appropriate apology." - the press secretary of the head of state added.

British Prime Minister, speaking on March 14 at the British Parliament, accused the Russian involvement in the poisoning of former GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia. The Russian Foreign Ministry rejected accusations, and the Russian embassy in London sent a note to the Foreign Office stating the need for a joint investigation of the state of emergency. May actually ignored these statements and announced the list of measures directed against the Russian Federation. London demands the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats and suspends all bilateral contacts with the Russian Federation. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told RIA Novosti on Thursday morning that Moscow would send British diplomats back from Russia, and it will happen soon.
