The Russian Embassy in the UK presented its statements:
“Moscow will not respond to London’s ultimatum until it receives samples of the chemical substance to which the UK investigators are referring.”
“Britain must comply with the Chemical Weapons Convention which stipulates joint investigation into the incident, for which Moscow is ready.”
“Without that, there can be no sense in any statements from London. The incident appears to be yet another crooked attempt by the UK authorities to discredit Russia.”
“Any threat to take ‘punitive’ measures against Russia will meet with a response. The British side should be aware of that.”
“Today the Embassy sent a note to the Foreign Office reiterating that Russia is not involved in the Salisbury incident and outlining the above mentioned demands for joint investigation.”
And that my friend is what is happening all over the western world. Accusations to push agendas and cover up fears of being found out….there are rules to follow internationally and Britain as with America time and time again, refuse to follow these rules…
Russia is being pushed into a war, a war that you simply do not want to live through…
Incidentally, novichok is not a specific substance but a class of new nerve agents, it is a word for many variations. Sources agree they were designed to be persistent, deadly and effective also on a degree much to a magnitude of and or stronger than sarin or a thiophosphonate. That is rather hard to equate that fact with the fact that nobody, but no one and or anything living has died from this alleged attack and those theoretically involved, just have to shower and wash their clothes….
Novichok is a series of nerve agents developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 80s. Allegedly, these are the most deadly nerve agents ever made, with some variants possibly five to eight times more potent than VX. Wikipedia…
That information alone is enough to counter any and all allegations against Russia…
The damn stuff is deadly and there would be massive deaths involved….if no one dies and last count I have heard is 37 people affected, then there is not a nerve agent involved. Games or not by the west, will not change reality and right now there would be many body bags in the wake of any form of a novichok related nerve gases and or related forms of the substance, released into the general public…
Time to wake up people….you cannot express how terrible sarin is in Syria and then act like a novichok based nerve agent is not killing anyone! Sarin is deadly, but novichok agents are worse and since they are fourth level, meaning very new and resistant to much of our antidotes to use for survival of an attack…
Tidbit: VX is about 10X more powerful than sarin and a novichok agent is worse than VX…
