British Prime Minister Theresa Maya said yesterday after the meeting of the National Security Council that it is “highly likely” that Russia is responsible for the poisoning of agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter.\u00a0The Russian Foreign Office has identified charges against Moscow as a fairy tale and a political campaign based on lies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

May updated the British Parliament on developments in the case of poisoning agent Skripal and his daughter after today’s session of the National Security Council.\u00a0She stressed, among other things,\u00a0that Britain is ready\u00a0 to take necessary measures against Russia.<\/p>\n

“I share the impatience of this House and the whole country to make Russia accountable to justice,”\u00a0May said at the beginning of her statement.\u00a0At the same time, however, she stressed the need to follow procedure and to have evidence.<\/p>\n

Skripal and his daughter were\u00a0poisoned by a nerve agent used by Russia\u00a0, according to the British Prime Minister\u00a0.\u00a0Therefore, the government believes that it is\u00a0“highly likely”\u00a0that Russia is responsible for the act.<\/p>\n

May summoned the Russian Ambassador to London to explain the source of the nerve agent used in the act.\u00a0If Moscow does not provide a plausible explanation,\u00a0London will treat the act as\u00a0“an\u00a0illegal use of force by the Russian state\u00a0“.<\/p>\n

BBC has told BBC radio chairman of the British Parliament’s Foreign Parliament Committee, Tom Tugendha, that the incident appears to be a “state sponsored attempted murder”.<\/p>\n

“Frankly, I would be surprised if she did not blame the Kremlin,”\u00a0Tugendhat said, referring to the speculation that Russia was attacking the pair.\u00a0Moscow denies it.<\/p>\n

May, according to the British press, has been pressured by some of her ministers to take a tougher stance against Moscow\u00a0if it proves to be Moscow behind the attack.\u00a0Downing Street has repeatedly said nothing can be done until the investigation is over.<\/p>\n

If it turns out that Russia is the poison of Skripal and his daughter, the government has several ways to respond to the press.\u00a0For example, she may deport Russian diplomats and agents from the country, impose financial sanctions on individuals connected to the Kremlin or not\u00a0send a national team to the World Cup in the summer that will take place in Russia.<\/p>\n

Sixty-six-year-old Skripal and his 33-year-old daughter, Yulia,\u00a0found unconscious by passers-by on Sunday, March 4, in the center of South Salisbury.\u00a0Since then, both have been in a serious condition in the hospital.\u00a0More than 200 police officers from the counter-terrorist unit are involved in the case and in Salisbury in the south of England and chemical specialists.\u00a0According to the Sunday statement of the authorities, the couple are in a critical but stable state.<\/p>\n

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marija Zacharov \u00a0“This was a circus in the British Parliament,” the spokesman said.\u00a0“The conclusion is obvious.\u00a0It is another information and political campaign based on lies,”\u00a0she added.<\/p>\n

Zacharov then told London that instead of inventing new fairy tales, it would be good to explain a number of previous strange deaths that occurred in Britain.\u00a0As a case, he mentioned the\u00a0poisoning of former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko, theunclear death of one of the richest Russian entrepreneurs Boris Berezovsky, or the alleged poisoning of Russian entrepreneur Alexander Perepilic.<\/p>\n

The main Russian media suggests Britain is responsible for the attack.\u00a0Commentator of Russian State Television Dmitry Kiseljov, known for his hatred of the West and praise of President\u00a0Vladimir Putin\u00a0, said on Sunday in his program that the\u00a0only people who could benefit from the attack are the British.\u00a0London’s motive was “simply to revive (British) russophobia.”\u00a0Kiseljov’s statements are generally considered to be the Kremlin’s voice in Russia, AP notes.<\/p>\n

Former Russian Special Services Agent Mikhail Ljubimov in the popular Komsomolskaya truth newspaper said that Skripal is too small a fish to stand for poisoning for Russia\u00a0.\u00a0“Skripal was sent to the West as part of the exchange (detained spies between Russia and the US).\u00a0This means that it is totally uninteresting to us,”\u00a0\u00a0Ljubimov said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
