We, the Heads of State and Government of Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, reiterate our dismay at the use of a known chemical nerve agent. under the name of Novitchok, March 4 in Salisbury. We welcome the progress made in the investigation into the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal and take note of yesterday's attempted homicide against two suspects. We salute the work of the British police and all those involved in this investigation.

We also take note of the analyses, british, cross-checked independently by the Organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons, according to which the same chemical agent nerve would have been used to poison Dawn Sturgess and Charles Rowley, as well as the Skripal. We urge the Russian federation to provide to the OPCW, all of the information regarding its programme on Novitchok. We also encourage those with information on the attack of Salisbury, of 4 march, as well as the poisoning that took place then at Amesbury, to make contact with the british authorities.

We have full confidence in the analysis british that the two suspects were officers of the military intelligence service of Russian, also known under the acronym GRU, and that this operation had certainly been approved at a high level of governmental decision. We have already taken steps to hinder the activities of the GRU, with the collective expulsion the largest ever conducted of intelligence agents that were not declared. Yesterday’s announcement further strengthens our commitment to continue to halt all hostile activities of the networks of foreign intelligence on our territories, to ensure respect for the prohibition of chemical weapons, to protect our citizens and defend us against any form of state activities for malicious directed against us and our societies.
