He also dismissed a suggestion by Russia's EU ambassador that the agent might have come from a UK laboratory.
Vladimir Chizhov had said the Porton Down lab in Wiltshire may have been the source of the substance.
Sergei and Yulia Skripal remain critically ill in hospital after being exposed to the substance in Salisbury.

Prime Minister Theresa May has said Russia is "culpable" for the attack.
