Russia: assassination attempt with \u0026 # x27; novitsjok \u0026 # x27; madness

moscow - The use of an exceptional nerve gas, Novitsjok, to kill a former Russian secret agent, is madness according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. Every expert in the field of chemical weapons knows that this leads to a lot of casualties at the place where the stuff is distributed, Vladimir Jermakov of the ministry said.

Jermakov said that the chemical used in an assassination attempt in Salisbury must be investigated quickly and that cooperation must take place. The substance dissolves. Jermakov spoke at a meeting that the Kremlin had arranged for foreign ambassadors in connection with the accusations of London to Moscow.

In southern Salisbury, in early March, the 66-year-old ex-doublespion Sergej Skripal and his 33-year-old daughter Joelia were poisoned with an exceptional substance that, according to the British, can only come from the Kremlin tube. The Skripals are in a coma. Russia contradicts every involvement.
