"We fully support our friend and ally Britain in the case of using a military-grade nerve agent against a former GRU (Russian secret service – EADaily’s note) officer. The case of poisoning Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia is a clear violation of the international law. Russia must promptly provide a full explanation. And the EU and NATO should give a unified and effective response to this criminal act," the head of the Latvian Foreign Ministry wrote in Twitter.
