A comprehensive inquiry in the UK has concluded that Vladimir Putin is morally responsible for the deadly Novichok poisoning of Dawn Sturgess and the attempted assassination of ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal. The report determined that Putin authorized the 2018 nerve agent attack, marking it as a demonstration of Russian power on foreign soil. In response to these grave findings, the UK government has imposed new sanctions targeting the Russian GRU intelligence agency, previously linked to the nerve agent attack. Officials warned that Putin and his agents continue to pose an active threat to UK citizens, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the two nations. Families of the victims are calling for further action and an acknowledgment of the dangers posed by such hostile actions.
