A reporter asked, “President Putin, BBC News. Is Russia behind the poisoning of Sergei Skripal?”
Putin, in Russian, responded, “Look, we’re busy here with agriculture. As you can see, the aim is to create good conditions for people’s lives. And you ask me about some tragedies. Get to the bottom of things there, first. Then we’ll talk about this.”
U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May said that Russia was likely behind the poisoning on Monday.
“Either this was a direct act by the Russian state against our country, or the Russian government lost control of this potentially catastrophically damaging nerve agent and allowed it to get in the hands of others,” she said.
