The letter states that the use of chemical weapons in the British city of Salisbury was the last drop of Putin's bullying over European values. Deputies mentioned the bombing of schools, hospitals and peaceful territories of Syria, the brutal invasion of Ukraine, the systematic hacking attacks of Russia, its disinformation campaign and interference in elections.
