MOSCOW — The Kremlin on Thursday rejected accusations by British authorities that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ultimately responsible for poisoning a former spy in England, and said Russia is not going to investigate the suspects. The murder attempt was approved “at a senior level of the Russian state,” British Prime Minister Theresa May said Wednesday. Moscow strongly denies involvement in the attack, and Russian officials said they didn’t recognize the suspects. Sergei Skripal’s niece, Viktoria, on Thursday called on British authorities to allow her to visit her family in Britain after her visa application was denied. She said that she does not know the men Britain suspects of being behind the poisoning.
