MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 28th December, 2018) Ten months on, Russia has not been granted access to the probe into the suspected poisoning in Salisbury of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, Ambassador Alexander Yakovensko said Friday.The pair were found slumped on a bench in a park after what the UK authorities say was an attempt on their lives using a nerve agent, so-called A234.
"As of today, we have not been given any official answers about the investigation, no official conclusion and, most importantly, we have not been able to meet the Russian nationals," the diplomat told Russia's Rossiya-24 broadcaster.
Yakovensko accused the UK government of breaking international laws, saying the March 4 poisoning dominated ties between the two countries this year. London blamed Moscow for a role in the attack on the ex-spy and his daughter, a claim denied by Russia, who maintains there is no credible proof.
