Russia's U.N. ambassador has called for an open meeting of the U.N. Security Council Thursday on the poisoning of a former spy and his daughter in Britain.

Vassily Nebenzia said Russia requested the council meeting because it shares the principel that the use of chemical weapons anywhere "is not acceptable and must be investigated and perpetrators punished, and that impunity is unacceptable."

The meeting is scheduled at 1500ET/1900GMT on Thursday.
