’Putin himself decided to use nerve gas’

LONDON – The British minister of Foreign Affairs Boris Johnson calls it “overwhelmingly likely” that Russian president Vladimir Putin personally took the decision nerve gas to use for an attack on a former spy in Britain.

Sergei Skripal and his daughter were the target.

Russia has, to date, any involvement denied in the attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter.

Johnson said that London nothing against the Russian population. “Our quarrel is with putin’s Kremlin and with his decision, and we think it overwhelmingly likely that it was his decision, to steer the use of nerve gas in the British streets, European streets, for the first time since the Second world War,” said Johnson Thursday.

Skripal and his daughter Yulia were Sunday, march 4, found unconscious on a sofa in Salisbury. They are in critical condition in the hospital.
