UK Government Believes Putin Authorized Salisbury Poisonings Six Years On

Oct 15, 2024, 11:52 AM

The UK government believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally authorized the Salisbury novichok poisonings, targeting Sergei Skripal. Skripal, the intended victim, agrees with this assessment, stating, 'I believe Putin makes all important decisions himself.' This new evidence has emerged in a public inquiry. The attack on a British citizen by the Russian state is seen as an act that cannot go unpunished, even if the direct perpetrators remain at large. Six years on from the incident, there are concerns that Putin's Russia is becoming increasingly reckless.
