British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday reiterated her accusation that Moscow poisoned former spy Sergei Skripal, saying Russia alone had the "capability, the intent and the motive." "There's no plausible explanation other than Russia was responsible," May said in Copenhagen after talks with Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen.
"No other country has a combination of the capability, the intent and the motive to carry out such an act," she said.
Britain and its Western allies have accused Moscow of poisoning ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia on March 4 in Salisbury, southwestern England, with a Soviet-made military-grade nerve agent known as Novichok.
May said Russia had a "record of conducting state-sponsored assassinations" and notably targeted defectors.
