MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 05th September, 2018) UK Prime Minister Theresa May said on Wednesday that the Russian military intelligence was behind the poisoning of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the city of Salisbury on March 4.
"We were right to say in March that the Russian state is responsible ... Based on a body of intelligence, the government has concluded that the two individuals named by the police and CPS [Crown Prosecution Service] are officers from the Russian military intelligence service, also known as GRU," May said.
Earlier in the day, the UK Crown Prosecution Service said that it had sufficient evidence to charge two Russian nationals, Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, of the Salisbury nerve agent attack.
