Russia will publish questions to the UK authorities on the Skripal case at the UN, said Vasily Nebenzya, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN.
Speaking at an informal meeting of the UN Security Council on the topic “Risks arising from the politicization of the activities of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)”, the diplomat noted that all these questions remained unanswered. He pointed out the similarities between the “Skripal case” and the “Navalny case”, as well as provocations with chemical weapons in Syria.
Nebenzya said that instead of cooperation and a conscientious investigation, the UK immediately blamed Russia without any evidence. According to him, an 80-page document “Salisbury: five years without answers to questions” has already been prepared, and part of it will be made public.
“I think you will be interested in reading them. We will do the same with regard to the incident with Alexei Navalny,” Nebenzya said.
Former GRU officer Sergei Skripal, convicted in Russia for treason, and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in Salisbury in March 2018, which provoked an international scandal. Scotland Yard later confirmed that the other man and woman were poisoned with the same substance as the Skripals. Don Sturges, 44, who suffered from poisoning, died on July 8 at the Salisbury District Hospital. London believes that Russia was involved in the poisoning of the Skripals.
