MOSCOW—President Vladimir Putin says that Russia has identified the two men that Britain is seeking as suspects in the poisoning of a former Russian spy, and he insists that they are civilians.
Britain last week charged the two Russians they allege are military intelligence agents in absentia with the Novichok poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia. Britain blames the Russian government for the attack, a claim that Moscow has vehemently denied.
