Nichtje Skripals: diagnosis 'really not good'

london - The Russian former double spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Joelia have only a very small chance to survive. According to their cousin Viktoria Skripal, the prognosis is 'not really good.' The Skripals were attacked in Salisbury on March 4 with a nerve gas.

'I might have 1 percent hope. Whatever she has been given, she has given a very small chance of survival. But they will be disabled for the rest of their lives ', Viktoria told the BBC.

The mother of Skripal did not hear anything about the incident. 'The first priority was to protect Grandma so that she would not hear from it. '

In recent days, 24 countries have expelled more than 115 Russian diplomats in response to the attack, which is attributed to Moscow. NATO has greatly reduced the Russian mission from 30 to 20 staff members.
