The sauce agent used in an attack on a former spy and his daughter could have come from a fact-finding laboratory in the United Kingdom, Russia’s EU ambassador said, the BBC reported on Sunday.
Vladimir Chizhov told the BBC that Russia did not furnish the toxin, and said that the Porton Down lab was only eight miles (12km) from Salisbury — where the onset occurred.
In response to a question on how the nerve agent ended up in Salisbury, he chew out tattle oned the BBC: “Porton Down, as we now all know, is the largest military facility in the United Realm that has been dealing with chemical weapons research.”
On Saturday, Russia ordered 23 British diplomats to bequeath Moscow within a week, in retaliation for Britain’s decision to kick out 23 Russians, midst an escalating row between both countries over a nerve agent hardened — since World War Two — in the attempted murder of former Russian double agency Sergei Skripal and his daughter.
Chizhov told BBC that in addition, there were “established specialists”, including scientists, claiming they have created some boldness agents, who are now living in Britain.
Mr Chizhov said that Skripal could “rightly be referred to as a turncoat” but “from the legal point of view the Russian state had nothing against him”, according to the BBC piece.
UK’s foreign office said there was “not an ounce of truth” in what he is saying beside Porton Down, and dismissed it as “nonsense,” the report said.
