Stone asked the Russian leader if he believes in the theory that Sergei Skripal wanted to return to Russia and divulge some secrets but was stopped by the British government.“Honestly, I don’t really believe it. I don’t believe it,” Putin replied.The Russian president said if British intelligence wanted Skripal poisoned, they certainly had the ability to do so. "There is something fishy here," he noted, alleging that whoever was behind the attempted murder was more interested in the "scandal" that it triggered.Also on rt.comTraitors must be punished but Salisbury incident is not the way to go – Putin on Skripal affair
