RUSSIA has refused to respond to Theresa May's ultimatum regarding the nerve agent attack on an ex-Russian spy the country's London embassy has confirmed, lurching the UK into a diplomatic crisis with Moscow.

Former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent of a type developed by Russia, Theresa May has told MPs, according to BBC. 

The PM said it was "highly likely" Russia was responsible for the Salisbury attack.

The Foreign Office summoned Russia's ambassador to provide an explanation.
