An attempt on the ex-colonel of the GRU Sergey Skripal and his daughter Julia was organized by Russia. This is confirmed by the representative of Great Britain in the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Peter Wilson. A member of an international organization that had been entrusted with the examination of the toxin allegedly poisoned by Skripali said that the OPCW had no evidence of Moscow's involvement in the crime. Nevertheless, there is no doubt - Russia is to blame. "We are confident that only Russia had the technical capabilities, experience and motivation for the attack of the Violins," said the diplomat, whose words are quoted on Twitter from the British representative office of the OPCW. Mr. Wilson reported that two OPCW authorized laboratories took samples of air in Salisbury, two more laboratories were studying biomedical tests, and everywhere traces of a toxin of the type "Novice". However, neither the British military laboratory in Porton Down nor the OPCW experts were able to identify the country or laboratory of origin of the substance used in this attack, he acknowledged. But since the UK is aware of the Russian "experience of state-sponsored murders" and everyone knows that the special services of the Russian Federation consider defectors a goal that must be destroyed, Moscow's guilt in the Skrypal case does not require other evidence.

Moreover, the British representative in the OPCW has demanded to punish Russia also for trying to defame the Western authorities and organizations, denying their statements. "Russia conducted a brazen campaign of misinformation and struck the reputation and experience of the OPCW," - stressed Wilson. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov demanded an answer from the OPCW whether or not the samples taken in Salisbury had detected the BZ poison agent, which had been produced in NATO countries.
