Secretary-general reiterates call for international reaction to use of nerve agent on opposition leader

NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg. Picture: REUTERS / JOSHUA ROBERTSNato has pointed the finger at Russia over the poisoning of Alexei Navalny, calling the attack “appalling” but stopping short of any immediate concrete response.

“All allies today were united in condemning this attack,” Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels after hosting a meeting with Nato envoys. Three decades after the Cold War ended, Western governments are focusing again on threats posed by Russia due to its renewed muscle-flexing, including encroachment in Eastern Ukraine where it annexed Crimea in 2014.

The substance was used in the attempted murder in March 2018 of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter on British soil — an act that prompted a concerted expulsion of 150 Russian diplomats.
