MOSCOW: The two suspects in the poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal have nothing to do with Russian President Vladimir Putin or the Kremlin, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying on Sunday.

Britain has charged two Russian men, identified as Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, with attempting to murder Skripal and his daughter Yulia by spraying a chemical weapon on Skripal’s front door in the southern English city of Salisbury in March.
