Germany said European allies will weigh action against Russia — including possible sanctions — after an international chemical-weapons watchdog confirmed that a nerve agent from the banned Novichok group had been used in the poisoning of Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny.
“Any use of chemical weapons is a grave act and cannot go without consequences,” German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said on Tuesday.
