“I honestly do not really believe in it. I do not believe ... If they wanted to poison, they would poison them, ”the Kremlin press service quotes the Russian leader.

In addition, Putin noted that he did not know where Skripal is currently located.

"I have no idea. He is a spy, he is hiding all the time, ”the president concluded ironically.

Earlier, Vladimir Putin said that the story of the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the British Salisbury "is not worth even five kopecks."
