The Kremlin has rejected the idea that Russia could have been behind the poisoning of a woman British authorities say died after being exposed to the same nerve agent that put former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the hospital, calling it “absurd.”
President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, spoke on July 9, a day after British police said that Dawn Sturgess, a 44-year-old mother of three, died in the hospital following an unexplained exposure to the nerve agent Novichok.
