The corresponding statement is published on the website of the British government.

Johnson also stated that "Britain’s position on the Salisbury incident has not changed: it was a reckless use of chemical weapons and an unscrupulous attempt to kill innocent people in British territory" and added that "such an attack should not be repeated."

In addition, the British Prime Minister said that "they are both responsible for solving international security problems, including those related to Libya, Syria, Iraq and Iran."

Earlier it was reported that Putin in Berlin during a break in the talks on Libya held meetings with Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Putin claimed that the story of the poisoning of former GRU employee Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia in British Salisbury “is not worth even five cents”.

Also, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said in an interview with 360 channel that the UK’s position on the Salisbury poisoning case is "endless insults and accusations."

On March 5, 2018, it became known that in British Salisbury, a man and a woman were poisoned with an “unknown substance”, after which they were hospitalized in critical condition.

The victims were Sergei Skripal and his daughter.
