The British media write that the creaks were poisoned by a very rare substance, which produces only a few laboratories in the world. The Guardian newspaper, in particular, notes that the most famous poisonous substances of the neuro-paralytic action are the VX toxin, which was used last year to kill the consolidated brother of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and Gas Zarin, which was supposed to be used in the Syrian city of Idlib. The UN attributes both of these substances to the chemical weapons of mass destruction.

The personality of Skripal, who sold the British foreign intelligence of MI6 at the beginning of the two thousandths of the Russian intelligence base in Europe, captured in Russia in 2004 and convicted by the Russian court in 2006, was established on Monday 5 on March 5. In 2010, Skripal got from prison to the west as a result of the exchange of spies between the United States and Russia, part of this exchange was Anna Chapman and other “sleeping” Russian spies that have lived in the United States undercover for decades.
Skripal settled with his wife in the UK, where he received a shelter. On Tuesday, March 6, it turned out that the young companion, who suffered with him, was his daughter Julia, who lived with her parents. Shortly before her poisoning, Julia wrote on the Internet that she would like to see Russian President Vladimir Putin in prison.
Skripal's wife died of cancer in October 2012 at the age of 59, and the cause of her disease was considered suspicious. His 43-year-old son died last year in St. Petersburg, where he went to rest with his friend. There he got to the hospital after an accident on a motorcycle, as a result of which he suddenly refused the liver. Now both of these deaths of the members of the same family are also returned to the investigation in Scotland Yard.
