In the "case of Skripal" a new name appeared - Sergey Fedotov. He could directly participate in the organization of the assassination attempt on the former Soviet intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury. In the winter of 2014. Fedotov visited the Czech Republic, along with Alexander Petrov, who, along with Ruslan Boshirov, conducted surveillance of Skripale. Western media have noticed that the whole trio used passports of the same series and almost completely coinciding numbers..

Fedotov also visited in Britain. He flew to London at least three times in 2016, 2017 and 2018. An interesting detail - all three of his visits to Foggy Albion took place in March. The last time Fedotov flew to London was two days before the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal, on March 2, that is, on the same day as Petrov and Boshirov. However, he flew a separate flight.

According to "Fontanka", 45-year-old Fedotov is an ideal candidate for the role of "Russian spy". There is almost no information about him, nothing is registered in his name, his profile is not in any social networks. Also, the suspicion of journalists causes another coincidence.. The series and number of Fedotov's passport is not significantly different from the documents that belong to the Russians, registered at the address of the headquarters of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense.
