1 year ago, Russia used a Novichok chemical weapon on the opposition leader Alexey @Navalny

This was utterly deplorable & a violation of international law

Over the past year, alongside our international partners, we've called on Russia to hold a full & transparent investigation
We have been working closely with international partners - including the EU and USA - to hold Russia to account.

Russia have failed to uphold their Chemical Weapons and Human rights obligations.
In October last year, we stood alongside our partners and stated that there is no plausible explanation for Navalny’s poisoning, other than Russian involvement and responsibility.

We enforced asset freezes and travel bans, on those responsible for the Novichok poisoning

"Today, the E3 – consisting of the United Kingdom, France and Germany - have jointly taken action to hold Iran to account for its systematic non-compliance with the JCPoA."

Foreign Secretary @DominicRaab
"Since last May, Iran has step by step reduced its compliance with critical elements of the JCPoA, leaving it a shell of an agreement."

FS @DominicRaab
"Each of these actions were individually serious. Together, they now raise acute concerns around Iran's nuclear ambitions. Iran’s breakout time – the time it would need to produce enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon – is now falling."

THREAD

The attempted hacking of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) by the Russian Military Intelligence Service - the GRU - part of a sustained pattern of hostile cyberspace activity.

What we know ⬇️
The attempted hacking happened in April. Around that time, the OPCW was working to independently verify the UK’s analysis of the chemical used in the poisoning of the Skripals in Salisbury. The OPCW confirmed the UK’s analysis.
This operation in The Hague by the GRU was not an isolated act. The Unit involved, known in the Russian military as Unit 26165, has sent officers around the world to conduct brazen close access cyber operations.
