She told reporters that Moscow will not believe any conclusions about the poisoning of ex-agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia unless Russian experts are given access to the investigation. She accused Britain of isolating the Skripals for over a month and said Yulia’s testimony is not trustworthy.
The statement came after the OPCW announced the result of its investigation, which confirmed that the victims were attacked by an unknown nerve poison and specified no perpetrator.
