As the embassy stated, “more than 80 diplomatic
notes sent to the Foreign Office in the case of Skripale.
The embassy noted that London is still “adhering to belligerent rhetoric against Russia,” at every convenient opportunity declaring “irrefutable evidence” of Moscow’s involvement in the incident.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the story of the poisoning of the former GRU employee Sergey Srippal and his daughter Yulia in British Salisbury "is not worth even five kopecks."
On March 5, 2018, it became known in British Salisbury that a man and a woman were poisoned with an “unknown substance,” after which they were hospitalized in critical condition.
The injured turned out to be the ex-Colonel of the GRU Sergey Skripal and his daughter.
