"I think that both the UK and international experts should give a clear answer and put an end to this issue, because now there is a high probability that this step was taken by the Russian side, but a high probability is not an absolute factual confirmation," the Lithuanian President said.
He expressed hope that experts investigating the case would be able to provide conclusive evidence.
On March 4, former intelligence colonel Sergei Skripal, who worked for the British special forces, and his daughter were poisoned in Salisbury, England.
The UK has confirmed that Russia was involved in the Skripal poisoning. Russia has firmly denied any involvement in the case.
