"Two Russian citizens in the UK committed an attack. Please provide us with all the information about this, we believe, a terrorist act against Russian citizens in the UK. We are given nothing. We are told about some "Novice", about some kind of attack from Russia to Britain. Once again, two Russian citizens are attacked in the UK, "Yermakov said..

He called the Skripal case a well-staged production, stressing that Russia is not going to blame anyone indiscriminately. While London accuses Moscow of what happened, which in every possible way fights off British attacks. By the way, at the height of the incident, this briefing was convened. More than 140 representatives of foreign embassies were accredited to the meeting to discuss the scandalous history. The United Kingdom, the United States, France and China have ignored this press conference.
