UK believes Putin personally authorised Salisbury novichok poisonings, official says
Briefly

"The British government has concluded the nerve agent attack was so sensitive that Putin must have given it the go-ahead. This indicates his direct involvement in the decision-making process regarding the attack."
"I believe Putin makes all important decisions himself. I therefore think he must have at least given permission for the attack," stated Sergei Skripal, emphasizing the high-level approval necessary for such an operation.
"Dawn Sturgess lived a life that was wholly removed from the worlds of politics and international relations but died an unnatural and wholly unexpected death, poisoned by a military grade chemical weapon," said Andrew O'Connor KC.
"The evidence will suggest that this bottle, which we shall hear contained enough poison to kill, was left behind from a military grade nerve agent used in a state-sponsored assassination attempt."
