BREAKING: Britain has named and charged a third Russian military intelligence officer, Denis Sergeev, over the 2018 poisonings of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, in a significant development likely to enrage Russia. Get the latest on this story:

Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov were charged in absentia over the Salisbury poisonings

The naming of Sergeev also strengthens a link between the Salisbury assault and the poisoning of an arms dealer in Bulgaria in 2015, as well as a blast at a Czech arms depot. "The three have been operating together in other parts of the world. We are liaising with those countries," Mr Haydon said.
