UK Inquiry Holds Putin 'Morally Responsible' for Poisoning Death

A UK inquiry has concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin carries "moral responsibility" for the 2018 poisoning death of a British woman. The woman died after spraying herself with a perfume bottle that contained a lethal nerve agent. The inquiry found that Russian operatives likely placed the Novichok nerve agent in the fake perfume bottle. They intended it for a former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal, but the woman accidentally found and used it. The judge stated that President Putin probably approved the operation against Mr. Skripal. Therefore, the inquiry holds him morally responsible for the woman's tragic death. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied any involvement in the poisoning incident.
