Britain's response to Moscow will require global support
The White House issued a statement Wednesday that said the USA "stands in solidarity with its closest ally, the United Kingdom" and shares in the assessment "that Russia is responsible for the reckless nerve agent attack on a British citizen and his daughter, and we support Britain's decision to expel Russian diplomats as a just response".
"President Trump stated the United States stands in solidarity with its closest ally and is ready to provide any assistance the United Kingdom requests for its investigation", it said.
"I condemn in the strongest possible terms this unacceptable attack", Macron told reporters during a visit to central France.
"We share the United Kingdom assessment that there is no plausible alternative explanation, and note that Russia's failure to address the legitimate request by the United Kingdom government further underlines its responsibility".
The prime minister, who visited Salisbury on Thursday, said there was "no alternative conclusion" than to believe Russian Federation was "culpable" for the poisonings.
But "Russia's reaction could be also be more wide-reaching", it predicted, citing diplomatic sources.
Macron said he would discuss the issue with German Chancellor Angela Merkel who is due in Paris on Friday.
Previously, Russian officials have denied all of London's claims that Moscow had somehow been involved in the incident.
"Whether it's the consideration of similar Russian expulsions from North Atlantic Treaty Organisation nations. or freezing more Russian assets, we ought to make it inescapably clear to Russia that its shadow war will meet a coordinated response", he said.

May announced on Wednesday that she had expelled 23 Russian diplomats believed to be Russian spies.
A Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman has described as "insane" allegations by British Prime Minister Theresa May that Russia was to blame for the nerve agent poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal.
"Hundreds of officers, as you would expect, continue to work around the clock, gathering evidence to identify those responsible for what is a reckless, despicable and targeted attack", UK Counter-terrorism Chief Neil Basu announced.
May also said Britain would clamp down on murky Russian money and strengthen the government's ability to impose sanctions on those who abuse human rights, though she gave few details.
"Their response demonstrated complete disdain for the gravity of these events", May said in a statement to parliament.
Lavrov suggested that the poisoning might have been motivated by a desire to complicate Russia's hosting of the 2018 soccer World Cup. "Everything leads us to believe that responsibility can be attributed to Russian Federation".
They include Moscow's intelligence services, a propaganda organisation and businessman Evgeny Prigozhin, one of 13 Russian nationals charged with interfering with United States elections and political processes by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Skripal, a former agent of Russia's military intelligence agency, was arrested in 2004 for betraying dozens of Russian agents to Britain.
