Salisbury attack was part of a pattern of Russian aggression, says Theresa May

Theresa May is pressing for a united statement from the European Union condemning Russia for the nerve agent attack in Salisbury.

Foreign ministers of the 28-nation bloc issued a statement on Monday voicing "unqualified solidarity" with the UK, but stopping short of pointing the finger of blame at Moscow for the March 4 attack on ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia.
