UK will speak to Russian ambassador about third man charged for nerve attack -PM's spokesman

Britain will raise with the Russian ambassador on Tuesday the issue of a third Russian who has been charged in absentia with the 2018 Novichok murder attempt on a former double agent, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's spokesman said.

"The FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) will be raising this matter with the Russian ambassador today," the spokesman said.

"If these individuals should ever travel outside Russia we will do everything we can to detain them, to extradite them, and to bring them to justice here in the UK."
