Kremlin says 'absurd' to link Russia to Novichok death

The Kremlin on Monday said it would be "absurd" to suggest Russia was involved in the death of a British woman exposed to the Novichok nerve agent. "We don't know that Russia has been mentioned or associated with this," President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. It was the Kremlin's first reaction to the poisoning of two British citizens exposed to Novichok near Salisbury in England, where former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned in March.
