Comment: This is beyond ludicrous. Someone desperately wants to taint Russia as an evil Empire with designs on poisoning the inhabitants of the little known Amesbury town in England as part of Russia's grand strategy to topple the West.

The Kremlin was "unaware" of any official statement blaming it for the second novichok incident, he said – but such claims "would be absurd."
