The British government will intervene in the story of the poisoning of the former Russian intelligence agent Sergei Skripal. If a foreign state is involved in a case, Foggy Albion will not stand aside. For example, Russia's involvement in the crime may be worth part of the British delegation, which will not go to the World Cup, which will be held in our country this summer. As written by Sky News, we are talking only about British officials who can boycott the mundial, and not about the players of the England national team. "Without showing a finger to anyone, I say to governments around the world:.

no attempt to deprive an innocent person of life on the British territory will not go unpunished, "the Air Force reports the words of British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who made such a statement in Parliament. He admits the possibility that Britain will have to "continue to pay a price for its principle of opposing Russia". The politician counts on the support of all political forces in this matter. We will add, Sergey Skripal - the former Russian spy convicted for state treason, who was exchanged in 2010 for Russian agents disclosed in the USA. This year on March 4, along with his daughter, he was taken to hospital in serious condition with signs of poisoning. There is a version that it could be fentanyl - opioid analgesic, which is used for anesthesia. The Russian Mission categorically denies the involvement of the state in a possible attempt on the Skripal. However, the idea of ??boycotting the mundial in Russia is not new. A year ago, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that in the West a whole campaign is under way to disrupt the 2018 World Cup. She assured that "all possibilities will be used there - information, influence on public opinion and there will be various surprises". And indeed, the "first bell" came last March from Germany, when after the detention of participants in an uncoordinated rally on Moscow's Tverskaya Street, the vice-president of the CDU / CSU parade, Michael Fuchs "foreshadowed" the Russian tournament boycott. And earlier this year, sabotage was hinted by neighboring Ukraine. Recall, the World Cup will be held this year in 11 cities of Russia from June 14 to July 15.
