'Russia has been spying on Skripals for five years'

london - Russian intelligence services had been spying on the ex-double spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Joelia for at least five years. British national security advisor Mark Sedwill has informed Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg of NATO in writing, the Sky News channel reports.

According to Sedwill, computer experts from the Russian military intelligence service, GROe, provided it, among other things, with the mail accounts of Joelia Skripal. They would have been hacked since 2013.

Sergej and Joelia Skripal were admitted to an English hospital last month with severe symptoms of poisoning. According to the British government, the Kremlin was behind the attack. Yulia was allowed to leave the hospital this week.
