G7 calls Russia for immediate answer questions on Skrial’s incident


17.04.2018


Foreign Ministers of G7 countries delivered a joint statement calling Russia for an immediate answer the questions concerning the incident in Salisbury, RIA Novosti informs. 

The corresponding message was spread by Canadian Foreign Ministry. The G7 joint the UK point of view on involvement of Russia into the case of poisoning of ex-intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia.

“We condemn ongoing refusals of Russia to answer the legal requests of the British government, which underlines again the responsibility of Russia,” the statement says.

Diplomatic representative offices of G7 have also called Moscow for immediate disclosure of declared Novichok program to experts of the Organization for the Prohibition of the Chemical Weapons. 

Ex-Russian intelligence officer and condemned former British spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were attempted to be poisoned in Saulsberry, UK, at the beginning of March. Official London states that Russia is involved in this incident. However, Moscow rejects such accusations.

Later Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov advised that Swiss Research Center which analyzed the samples of the Organization for the Prohibition of the Chemical Weapons from the crime scene concluded that BZ substance was used to poison the Skripals. It was produced by US and UK for the military purposes and has never been used in Russia or USSR.
