North Atlantic Treaty Organisation has warned that the nerve agent attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter must have "consequences" and Stoltenberg will hold a news conference in Brussels at 3:30 pm local time to make an announcement on "further decisions", the alliance said in a brief statement.
North Atlantic Treaty Organisation chief Jens Stoltenberg will today unveil "measures" in response to the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain, the alliance said, as worldwide pressure mounts on Moscow.
More than 20 countries on Monday announced expulsions of Russian diplomats in response to the attack on Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter, Yulia.
Russian Federation denounced the actions as "boorish" and pledged to retaliate.
"I have today withdrawn the accreditation of seven staff of the Russian mission to North Atlantic Treaty Organisation".
"This sends a clear message to Russian Federation that there are costs and consequences for its unacceptable and risky pattern of behaviour", Mr. Stoltenberg added.
