Russian President Vladimir Putin says a page should be turned on the strain in relations between Moscow and London caused by the poisoning of a former spy.
Speaking Thursday at a meeting with chiefs of international news agencies in St. Petersburg, Putin said that “interests in economic and social spheres and global security are more important than spy games.”
Relations between Russia and Britain have been in tatters over the March 4, 2018, nerve agent attack on double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the city of Salisbury. They spent weeks in critical condition, but recovered.
Britain has accused Russia of poisoning them with the nerve agent Novichok, accusations Moscow has denied.
