British intelligence services gave the CIA evidence that Moscow was involved in the poisoning of former GRU officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter. In turn, the American intelligence agency pressured the White House, which resulted in the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats from the United States and the closure of the Consulate General in Seattle. Moreover, as the "Free Press" writes, the British do not provide information in favor of the "Kremlin version" neither to Moscow nor to the Western allies, explaining this with the many-year MI6 policy. British intelligence does not disclose its sources, it gives guarantees to high-ranking traitors working for the benefit of the United Kingdom. This is the fundamental principle of the work of one of the most cruel and influential special services of the world.

Thus, if MI6 does not provide evidence to the world community in favor of the Kremlin's hand reaching for the Skrypal spy, this is because British intelligence does not want to put its Kremlin agent or group of agents under the direct influence of President Vladimir Putin, the newspaper notes. Former Colonel General GRU Seregae Skripal and his daughter Julia were poisoned on March 4 in the English city of Salisbury. Official London announced that Russia was involved in the incident, without providing any evidence at all. The case of Skripal was the occasion for a large-scale international scandal: more than 20 countries sent 150 Russian diplomats.
