The Salisbury incident is a part of London’s so-called dead cat strategy, that aims to distract the people from the difficult Brexit process and steer their focus toward the alleged Russian threat, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
Monday marks the first anniversary of the Salisbury incident, in which former Russian intelligence agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, were allegedly attacked with a nerve agent created in the Soviet Union. The United Kingdom has been accusing Russia of masterminding the attempted murder, while Moscow has refuted all the accusations.
