The main intelligence agency of Russia is involved in the poisoning of the Scryla, the American edition of The New York Times. Journalists, referring to the data of British officials, report that the poisoning of the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia with the substance Novice was conducted by the Russian GRU. This is in the story of Radio NV.
In addition, a source in the US leadership noted that law enforcers will soon be able to name specific people who conducted the operation with poisoning. The publication also notes that the investigators believe that other Russian special services are involved in the poisoning. At the same time, relatives of other victims of the Novice made statements for the media. In particular, according to The Guardian, the son of the deceased British woman asked US President Donald Trump to help punish the killers.
The request to Trump from the son of the deceased British Evan Hope, the son of the British woman Don Sturgess, who was killed by the Newcomer, asked Donald Trump to punish the killers. He sent a petition to Trump to discuss the Novice's application during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on July 16.
Hope said: "I do not share Trump's policy and I will never be his supporter. But I would like him to talk about my mother with the Russian president ".
He stressed that it requires only justice. Help Trump he needs only to ensure that the perpetrators were punished. At the same time, brother of the victim of poisoning Charlie Rowley said that the nerve agent was kept in a perfume bottle, the BBC.
Matthew Rowley said that his brother Charlie, who is still in hospital in serious condition, informed him that he had picked up a perfume bottle, the report said.. The London police, which is investigating, declined to comment on this statement. But earlier reported that she had found a small bottle of Novice in the house of the injured Charlie Rowley. The British police do not exclude that, in addition to the detected vial of substance, there may be other objects that have come into contact with the nerve agent.
Material evidence The Scotland Yard statement of 14 July states that in the poisoning case, about 400 pieces of evidence were collected. A significant part of the collected physical evidence, most likely, infected by the Novice, noted in the Office. All these items are transferred to the laboratory for analysis. While it is not known where the previously found bottle with Novice came from and how it happened to be in the house of Charlie Rowley, a resident of the city of Amesbury, accidentally poisoned with substance.
A representative of the British police said that the investigation may take several months. The investigation intends to establish whether Amesbury's substance belongs to the same party that was poisoned by Sergei and Yulia Skripaley in March.
June 3, British citizens 45-year-old Charlie Rowley and 44-year-old Don Sturgess were taken to a hospital in Amesbury with symptoms similar to those that appear in poisoning with a nerve agent Newcomer. July 8 Sturgess died, and on July 10, Rowley recovered, his condition remains critical, but there is no threat to life. The victim has already given the first testimony of the police.
Developed in Russia and very dangerous Scientist Vil Mirzayanov, who participated in the creation of chemical agents of nerve agents Novice said that according to him, the agent was developed in Russia for 17 years. According to him, no other country had such opportunities and did not know about this secret. That's why the scientist does not doubt that substance A-234, which was poisoned by Fiddles and a couple in Amesbury, is exactly the Beginner developed in Russia.
Mirzayanov noted that, probably for experimental purposes, the Newbie was synthesized in the UK. Mirzayanov stressed that the substance could be synthesized according to the book formula only in scientific institutions that already had experience with poisonous substances, at home it is impossible.
"Theoretically, two milligrams is enough to kill a person. But when the substance is used as a weapon, the costs go great - already in grams. Dissolve the substance, add to the water repellent compound. The newcomers were developed at two plants in the USSR: in Shikhan and Volgograd. There he produced not kilograms, but tons. It's about 16-20 tons, "Mirzayanov said..
If Trump discusses poisoning with Amesbury with Putin, it is unlikely that this will lead to any consequences on the international scene, said Nikolai Beleskov, an analyst at the Institute of World Politics. He added that the reaction of the world to incidents of poisoning by the Newcomer will depend on the statements of London. However, the expert noted that the UK already has many problems.
Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with nerve agent Beginner in March 2018. According to London, the poisoning of the Violins was Russia. In response to poisoning, the UK expelled several Russian diplomats. Solidarity with London was expressed by 28 states that sent almost 150 Russian diplomats. In addition, the accreditation of 7 Russian representatives to NATO.
