“We are very concerned over the Sergei Skripal case, which has put many human lives at risk. We wish to express our heartfelt solidarity to the British Government and also to the people of Britain.
Using a nerve agent, which is banned by international conventions, on the territory of Great Britain is a particularly serious action.
We are following with the greatest attention the international debate on this issue and we will not fail to give our support to any action designed to ensure security and the respect of international law”, said the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Angelino Alfano, during a meeting he had today with his British counterpart, Boris Johnson.
