The EU’s diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini held crisis talks with the bloc’s ambassador to Moscow Sunday after he was recalled over the poisoning of a former Russian spy in England. EU leaders summoned envoy Markus Ederer back to Brussels for consultations as international pressure builds on Moscow over the attempted assassination of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the British city of Salisbury. At a summit on Friday, the bloc unanimously backed Britain’s assessment that the Kremlin was to blame for the incident — the first offensive use of a nerve agent in Europe since World War 2.
