LONDON – Britain's Interior Minister has said the United Kingdom will catch two men accused of using a nerve agent in the English city of Salisbury if they leave Russia.
Britain has accused two suspected agents of the Russian military intelligence agency GRU in absentia of the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia.
Britain accuses the Russian state of attack, Moscow's assertion.
Interior Minister Sajid Javid said on Sunday that the GRU "receives its orders from the highest level of the Russian government".
Javid acknowledged that in Russia, men were out of reach of British law. But, he told the BBC, "when they leave the Russian Federation, Britain and its allies will get them and we will prosecute them."
