Third Russian national charged over Salisbury poisonings
The Guardian says a third Russian national has been charged over the 2018 novichok poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, British police have said.
A man using the name Sergey Fedotov, believed to be about 50 years old, is alleged to have been working as part of a Russian military unit with Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, who have previously been charged over the poisonings in Wiltshire.
Scotland Yard said all three men were working for Russia’s GRU military spy agency, the first time it has explicitly implicated the GRU, although the then prime minister, Theresa May, blamed it in 2018.
