"UK has sanctioned Russia's GRU military intelligence agency after an enquiry found that the Russian dictator is "responsible" for the death of Dawn Sturgess who was killed with Novichok by two Russian agents. An independent enquiry found that Vladimir Putin is "astonishingly reckless" as his agents deployed nerve agent on UK soil in 2018. Novichok which is a chemical agent was left in a discarded perfume bottle, this killed Sturgess in Wiltshire."
"The two Russian agents put the chemical agent on Skripals' door handle in a "public demonstration of Russia n power." The British Foreign Office summoned the Russia n ambassador Andre Kelin on Thursday and sanctions eight cyber military intelligence officers who work for the GRU, they targeted the Skripal's. Independent chemical weapons scientists confirmed at the time that the UK's findings, found "high purity" Novichok was used to target the former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury."
"While Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) does not specifically name Novichok, the UK government says its scientists have identified the agent as a military-grade Novichok nerve agent. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said, "The Salisbury poisonings shocked the nation and today's findings are a grave reminder of the Kremlin's disregard for innocent lives. "Dawn's needless death was a tragedy and will forever be a reminder of Russia 's reckless aggression. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones."
The UK imposed sanctions on Russia's GRU military intelligence agency and specific officers after an inquiry attributed responsibility for Dawn Sturgess's death to actions by Russian agents. The inquiry described Vladimir Putin as astonishingly reckless for using agents to deploy a military-grade nerve agent on UK soil in 2018. Novichok was left in a discarded perfume bottle and killed Sturgess in Wiltshire. The same attack targeted former spy Sergei Skripal, his daughter Yulia, and a police officer, Nick Bailey. The Foreign Office summoned the Russian ambassador and sanctioned eight GRU cyber-military intelligence officers, while UK scientists identified high-purity Novichok.
