We can confirm that we see the same results as the German laboratory, that is, that there is no doubt that it is about these substances, says Åsa Scott, head of the Swedish Defense Research Agency, to TT.

Scott says the assignment came from the German sister laboratory on September 4.

- Very proud of our staff that we can support in this way, says Scott.

According to Reuters, a French laboratory has also confirmed the previous German conclusions, according to the German government.

"We reiterate our call on Russia to comment on these incidents. We are in close contact with our European partners for further action ", reads a statement from Angela Merkel's spokesperson Steffen Seibert.
