💨 Abstract

Former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal, poisoned with Novichok in 2018, believes Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the attack. Skripal made this statement at an inquiry into the death of Dawn Sturgess, who was accidentally exposed to the same nerve agent. Sturgess died after her partner found a counterfeit perfume bottle containing Novichok, which British police believe was used by Russian intelligence operatives.
