Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom described the new report on pursuing Scripal case and Sergei and Yulia Skripal’s life after poisoning as a falsification.
The Sunday Telegraph newspaper has published an article saying that the UK government owns the complete information about the poisoning of former Russian military intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury. This data allegedly includes the whole “chain of command” that was involved in Skripal’s disposal. The Daily Telegraph newspaper has given new details on Sergei and Yulia’s life after poisoning. As reported, they live on the South of the UK and are able to communicate with close people.
“We are dealing with yet another informational falsification that is not official and impossible to check. No facts or proofs of the Salisbury incident circumstances were given. Therefore, the complete picture of what happened is still intricate. Sergei and Yulia Skripal remain forcibly held, and real circumstances of the incident that happened on March 4 are not identified yet, despite the UK press leaks,” Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper quotes the Russian Embassy in the UK.
In their comments to the reports about Skripal’s contacts with their Russian relatives and friends the Embassy noted that Sergei’s elderly mother still didn’t have a chance to talk to him and Yulia.
The diplomatic mission of Russia also recalls that the UK still didn’t provide any evidence that Russian citizens Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov were involved in the incident. The Embassy insists on the disclosure of all information that British investigative authorities have, including the CCTV footage.
Russian diplomats called the British media reports a “speculation not deserving a serious comment.”
