Many European countries plan to support Great Britain that accused Moscow in involvement in poisoning of former GRU colonel Sergei Skripal and expel Russian diplomats, reports The Times.

Some Russian diplomats in EU countries can be reportedly accused of ties with “spy networks.” According to the paper, governments of France, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria and others are thinking over expelling Russians.

Supposedly, they can start taking actions on March 26, right after EU Ambassador to Russia Markus Ederer will be recalled from Moscow.

EADaily reported earlier that British experts managed to determine what agent was used to poison Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury. Prime Minister Theresa May said that the nerve agent was identified as a part of Novichok gas group.
