The Kremlin has been outspoken in its denial of any involvement in the Skripal poisoning, which also put his daughter Yulia in a coma and hospitalized over 20 English who were near the incident.
Western nations, in a response to the poisoning, expelled over 150 Russian diplomats. In addition, Britain, France, and the United States attacked Syria with 105 cruise missiles to destroy chemical weapons facilities controlled by the Assad regime, after the use of chemical weapons against civilians outside Damascus.
Reports are the American national security establishment is worried about an increase in use of weapons of mass destruction by Russian military and security services, and want to show there will be a response to such attacks.
