Maxim Litvinenko, the brother of former FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned in London by polonium, said that Yulia Skripal may have new problems. Earlier, the media reported that she came to, and her condition improved. "If she tries to go to Russia and realizes what really happened, then most likely, her improvement will be temporary," Litvinenko said in an interview with REN TV. He believes that Britain will need Julia only if she can be persuaded that Sergei Skripal was killed by Russia's special services, because then the daughter of former Colonel GRU "can be shown on television in London". Former GRU officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia were poisoned in the English city of Salisbury on March 4. Official London laid the blame for the accident on Moscow, without providing any evidence.

British investigators put forward a lot of versions of how the Cryptal poisoning could occur, stating that the poisonous substance could be poured into the car ventilation, applied to a bouquet that Freakal brought to the grave of the mother or to the handle of the door leading to his apartment. According to the latest version, Skripali was poisoned with buckwheat, which was brought by her friend Julia. The case of the Violins served as an occasion for a large-scale international scandal: more than 20 countries sent almost 150 Russian diplomats.
