| Putin dismissed the allegations that Russia was behind the early March poisoning of former double-agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury, speaking with the reporters at his HQ. | |
| He said that it was “nonsense and absurd to claim that Russia would do anything like that before the elections and the World Cup.” | |
| “Concerning this tragedy that you’ve mentioned, I learned about it from the media,” Putin told reporters. | |
| He dismissed the theory that it was a military-grade toxic agent that was used in the poisoning, because if that were the case “people, of course, would have died on the spot.” | |
| “It’s an obvious fact, you should simply understand that,” he said. | |
