British intelligence services could poison former Colonel GRU Sergey Skripal, since the formula used by chemical weapons is available to all professionals. This was stated by one of the creators of the nerve-paralytic poison, which was poisoned by Skripal, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor Leonid Rink. The scientist drew attention to the fact that this technology of "Novice" production is not a secret - a substance can be produced by any pharmacological or chemical company. In Britain, poison could be used by local "experts" who followed the movements of the ex-spy. "They could process, I think, the things of Violin or his daughter. Either some things in the cemetery. Naturally, there should have known that these days Skripal will go to the cemetery. This could easily have been done by the British themselves, "Rink said in an interview with RIA Novosti without specifying the motives of the British intelligence service. If the scripting of the Skrypal really costs London, it largely explains his reluctance to share a sample of poison with Moscow, said Rink. According to him, it would not be possible to recreate the exact Soviet copy of the "Novice" - when studying the substance, technological differences would be revealed. "This is a kind of" handwriting ". Immediately it turns out that this is not a Russian technology, "explained Rink.

The authors of the "British" version of the "Novice" probably did not know the full list of elements of the substance, and therefore what they managed to create in their laboratory can become in fact the most important evidence in the case. "This is a fingerprint for the criminalist. Immediately we can say that they were not "brewing" in Russia, "concluded the professor. The former colonel of the GRU reserve, Sergei Skripal, was poisoned along with his daughter Julia on March 4 in Salisbury. London laid the blame for the incident on Moscow.
