destabilising the UK and attacking its citizens, the prime minister told Russia's president at the Berlin Conference on Libya.A Downing
Street spokesperson said in a statement after the two leaders met on the margins of the summit that Mr Johnson "was clear there had been no
change in the UK's position on Salisbury".Image:Police at Sergei Skripal's homeThe attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal was "a reckless use of
chemical weapons and a brazen attempt to murder innocent people on UK soil", the spokesman said."The prime minister said there will be no
normalisation of our bilateral relationship until Russia ends the destabilising activity that threatens the UK and our allies and undermines
the safety of our citizens and our collective security."Mr Skripal, a former Russian spy, and his daughter were left critically ill after
being targeted by Russian agents, in March 2018 but recovered.Mother-of-three Dawn Sturgess died from novichok poisoning after her partner
