The Kremlin said today the absence of the British ambassador from a Moscow meeting over the poisoning of a Russian double agent in the UK showed London's unwillingness to "hear answers".
"Perhaps this is another eloquent demonstration of the absurdity of the situation when questions are being asked but the unwillingness to hear some answers is being shown," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
