At least 5 years ex-intelligence GRU Sergei Skripal was "under the hood" from his former colleagues. This was unexpectedly announced by Mark Sedwill, Adviser to the British Prime Minister for National Security, Sky News reported on Friday, April 13. According to the publication, in a letter sent to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, the Englishman claims that IT experts from the GRU allegedly tracked the e-mail addresses of the daughter of the Russian exile Julia Skripal. In Russia in the 2000s, according to Sedwill, a training program was created for "special units" on the use of chemical agents. In particular, they allegedly explored ways to transfer nerve agents through the door handles. Bingo. These Russian fantasies have already been reacted by the Russian side,. The news was commented at the briefing in London by the Russian Ambassador to the United Kingdom Alexander Yakovenko. "I was very surprised. The violin was released from Moscow, he went here (in the UK - ed..

How could they follow, how could this happen at all? If they were spying on him, why did not the British special services complain about this? We have not received any statements from the British side, "said RT Yakovenko. He also said that Moscow would send London an official request under Article 9 of the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to clarify the issues concerning the Salisbury incident, during which Russians were poisoned on March 4. "This will be an interesting development of events," the ambassador said.. "We are waiting for an official response from the UK under this Convention. This is a very serious step on our part, "- quotes his words RIA" Novosti ". Only Yakovenko finished the press conference, as it became known that London called for bringing Russia to justice for alleged violation of the Convention itself, for the sake of which the Security Council convened a meeting of the UN Security Council and the OPCW Executive Council.

This is stated in the message of the British Embassy in Russia. The statement states that during the past 10 years, our country has produced and stored a small amount of substance that was poisoned by the Violins.

Earlier, commenting on the report of the OPCW on the case of Skrypals presented yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, noted that the report only confirmed the chemical composition of the toxin, which, according to him, is not on the list of the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. He stressed that the name of the substance in the document is not mentioned.

Lavrov accused British politicians that they "once again tried to distort the truth and declare that the statement of the OPCW means supporting all of the UK's conclusions without exception".
