Russia is wrong to deny responsibility for a nerve agent attack on a former Russian double agent on British soil on March 4, Britain’s foreign minister said on Monday.
"The Russian denial is increasingly absurd," Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson told reporters as he arrived for a meeting with his EU counterparts in Brussels, where he is due to brief ministers on the incident.
"This is a classic Russian strategy ... they’re not fooling anybody anymore," Johnson said, asserting that "there is scarcely a country around the table here in Brussels that has not been affected in recent years by some kind of malign or disruptive Russian behavior."
