On March 4 of this year, the former GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal, convicted in Russia for state treason, and subsequently sent to the West as part of the “spy exchange”, and his daughter Julia Skripal, who came to his father from Moscow, were poisoned in Salisbury. Both have been in critical condition for several weeks, but in the end they went recovering and were discharged from the hospital. With less dangerous poisoning, a policeman, who studied the place where the Skripals were discovered unconscious, got into the hospital.

As it turned out, the former agent and his daughter were poisoned by the nervous poison "Novice" developed in the USSR. The conclusions of the British chemists were confirmed by the organization to prohibit chemical weapons. London accused the Russian authorities of a crime . However, Moscow categorically denies its involvement in the poisoning of the Skripals.
