Russia's foreign ministry accused Britain on Tuesday of using the poisoning case of former double agent Sergei Skripal as a tool to pressure Moscow and stoke anti-Russian sentiment, the RIA news agency reported.
Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova made the remark after British police said a third Russian had been charged in absentia with the 2018 Novichok murder attempt on Skripal and that the three suspects were military intelligence operatives.
Speaking at a briefing, Zakharova denied any Russian involvement.
