May to press Putin over Novichok attack in face-to-face meeting

British PM will reiterate determination to bring suspects to justice when she meets Russian president

Theresa May will use a face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin on Friday to reiterate the UK's determination to bring the suspects in the Salisbury poisoning to justice, she has insisted.

The announcement that the prime minister would hold a bilateral meeting with Putin at the G20 summit in Osaka sparked concerns that she was preparing to rekindle relations with Moscow, as one of the final acts of her premiership.
