LONDON - Britain on Sunday said Russia had "a very serious set of questions to answer" about the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, suggesting some form of state involvement in the high-profile case.
"It's very difficult, when it comes to the question of attribution, to think of a plausible explanation of being anyone other than some emanation of the Russian state, simply because Novichok is hard to get your hands on, hard to control," Raab told Sky News television. The probe would establish whether there was state involvement, he said, calling the use of chemical weapons "abhorrent" and "pure gangsterism".
A police officer also fell ill and recovered but one woman died four months later after coming into contact with a perfume bottle thought to have contained the chemical weapon.
