Britain's prime minister said Monday that it's "highly likely" that Russia was responsible for poisoning ex-spy Sergei Skripal with a military-grade nerve agent in southwestern England last week.
Theresa May said that Russian state involvement if proven would be considered an "unlawful use of force by the Russian state against the United Kingdom" and would draw a strong response.
Shortly after May's remarks, Russia's Foreign Ministry dismissed suggestions it could be behind the poisoning as a "circus show."
May said that British scientists have determined that Skripal and his daughter were poisoned in Salisbury with Novichock - a form of nerve agent developed by the Soviet Union near the end of the Cold War - and there were two possible explanations.
