Russia Suggests UK Possessed Nerve Agent That Is “Quite Artificially” Being Linked to Moscow

The Russian Ambassador to the U.K., Alexander Yakovenko, is further charging London with making accusations in poor faith, while raising questions over whether the poison was already in the possession of the British government.
