The attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal was “expected to stand as a public demonstration of Russian power”, Lord Hughes concludes.
Dawn Sturgess’ death was therefore collateral damage in a plot which “amounted to a public statement, both for international and domestic consumption, that Russia will act decisively in what it regards are its own interests”, he says.
Everyone involved in the attempt to assassinate the Skripals – including Putin who authorised the attack “at the highest level”- was “morally responsible” for Ms Sturgess’ death, the report concludes.
Hopefully we’ll do something concrete now about the use of a chemical weapon by russia in the UK.

More than morally. Politically, legally , in every possible way responsible.

I’m sure Putin is all broken up about it.
I would ask why the UK government didn’t have a stronger reaction to a chemical weapon attack on its territory but I am pretty sure I know the answer already.

There is a real chance Ukraine could end up bringing these two guys down, even just by chance.
Well duh.
