There's a satirical german article related to this topic: http://www.der-postillon.com/2018/03/putin-salisbury.html
Literally translates to:

Imo this perfectly describes what happened. Even if the Russians had a reason to kill Skripal, why the heck would they use a Russian military poison? And I'm pretty sure they wouldn't fail if they really tried.
