The poison, who poisoned the former GRU employee Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia, was placed in her suitcase in Moscow. It is reported by The Telegraph with reference to high -ranking sources in British intelligence.
According to the interlocutors of the publication, the poisonous substance could be applied to one of the items of clothing, cosmetics or gifts that were supposed to be in the suitcase. He was already opened in the house of a former intelligence officer in Salisbury. It is claimed that outsiders could easily penetrate the Moscow apartment of Julia Skripal and put poison on one of the items.
It is reported that the counter -terrorist police and Mi5, investigating the case of Skripal's poisoning, have already abandoned the version that the criminals themselves were in Britain with poison. The police officer Nick Bailey, who was also hospitalized in an unconscious state with signs of poisoning, could be exposed to the poison in the Skripals house - he visited him a few hours after the ex -reconnaissance and his daughter was found unconscious on the bench.
On March 4, the 66-year-old former GRU Colonel Skripal, convicted in Russia for Gosizmen and exchanged in Russian spies in 2010, and his 33-year-old daughter was discovered with symptoms of severe poisoning . Both still remain in a coma. The condition of both is evaluated as critical, albeit stable. Traces of poison were discovered in a number of public places that Skripal and daughter visited on the day of poisoning. About 20 people turned to medical help.
On March 15, the leaders of Britain, France, Germany and the USA of a joint statement accused Russia of poisoning Skripal. This is the “only believable explanation,” is emphasized in the statement. Western allies note that this is "the first use of the neuro-paralytic poison in Europe since the Second World War." The authors of the application demanded that Russia "clarify all the issues related to the attack" and provide all the details about the used poisoning substance.
On the same day, the Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nevornya said that the poison that was poisoned by Skripal could be created in Britain itself .
On Monday, British Prime Minister Teresa May said that Moscow is likely to be attempted by Skripal, since the former agent was poisoned by the Russian poison of Novice. Then, the country's Foreign Minister Boris Johnson demanded that Russia until the end of the day on Tuesday present the OPCW comprehensive information about the Novice program. In turn, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, refused to fulfill the requirement of London until Britain provides Russia with access to the case of poisoning case.
