MOSCOW, April 5. /TASS/. Former Russian
military intelligence (GRU) Colonel Sergei
Skripal’s niece Viktoria Skripal claims to
have had a telephone call with her cousin
Yulia, the Rossiya-1 TV channel reported on
Thursday.
The call’s recording, provided by Viktoria,
was made public during Rossiya-1’s 60
minutes program. According to the program’s
hosts, the recording has not been verified
yet.
The recording has Viktoria Skripal talking
to another woman who introduces herself as
Yulia Skripal. She says that she is doing
fine. Viktoria informs her she plans to come
to London on Monday provided she receives a
visa, but the other woman says that "no one
will give you a visa."
The woman claiming to be Yulia Skripal adds
that Sergei Skripal "is all right."
"Everyone is recovering, everyone
survived… No irreparable harm was done.
That’s all, I will soon be discharged from
the hospital," she said.
Skripal saga
On March 4, Sergei Skripal, who had been
convicted in Russia of spying for Great
Britain and later swapped for Russian
intelligence officers, and his daughter
Yulia suffered the effects of an alleged
nerve agent in the British city of
Salisbury. Claiming that the substance used
in the attack had been a Novichok-class
nerve agent developed in the Soviet Union,
London rushed to accuse Russia of being
involved in the incident. Moscow rejected
all of the United Kingdom’s accusations,
saying that a program aimed at developing
such a substance had existed neither in
the Soviet Union nor in Russia.
However, the UK expelled 23 Russian
diplomats and announced other restrictive
measures against Moscow without presenting
any evidence of its involvement in the
incident. In retaliation to the UK’s steps,
Russia expelled 23 British diplomats, closed
the British consulate general in the city of
St. Petersburg, while the British Council
had to shut down its operations in Russia.
On March 26, in the wake of the Skripal
incident, a number of EU member countries,
the United States, Canada and Australia
announced the expulsion of Russian
diplomats. Washington expelled 60 diplomatic
workers and closed the Russian consulate in
Seattle.
The Russian Foreign Ministry later announced
retaliatory measures against counties that
had expelled Russian diplomats. In
particular, Moscow expelled 60 US diplomats
and closed the US consulate general in the
city of St. Petersburg. The United Kingdom
was requested to reduce the number of its
diplomatic staff in Russia so that it would
match the number of Russian diplomats in
Great Britain.
