Embassy Press secretary responds to BBC question

Q: Has your mission made any contact with the UK authorities over the wellbeing of Sergey and Julia Skripal?

A: Literally the next day after the first reports on the poisoning of Mr Skripal and his daughter the Embassy officially requested the Foreign Office to provide information on their health situation and the investigation. This is important to us since his issue has become quite a negative factor for the relations between our countries due to the unfounded accusations against Russia advanced by the media. British officials don’t provide any additional information and don’t distance themselves from the media campaign. The investigation is being concluded in a non-transparent manner, whenever for the Russian side nor for the public. Quite naturally, this is a source of concern.

The Foreign Office has informed us that the UK considers Mr Skripal as a British citizen. Still, the British side has provided no detailed information regarding their health, thus confirming that nobody, including the British media, has obtained access to investigation files since 4 March when the incident occurred.

We would like to stress once again that we are outraged by the anti-Russian media campaign, condoned by the Government, that influences the investigation and has a psychological effect on British residents. Our compatriots and British nationals of Russian origin are worried about their future in this country. UK-based Russian journalists are receiving threats.

Current policy of the UK Government towards Russia is a very dangerous game played with the British public opinion, which not only sends the investigation upon an unhelpful political track but also bears the risk of more serious long-term consequences for our relations.

Das #ZDF #heutejournal unterbietet wiedermal das Niveau der #BILD. Der Nachrichtenkleber faselt von einem "doppelten mörderischen Anschlag" dabei gibt es bisher keine Toten! Aus Mangel an Beweisen werden einfach andere #FakeNews (#Litvinenko, #Krim, #Hacker etc.) rausgekramt...🤥 pic.twitter.com/blw3CLojHO

Eelco leidt Putin "discussie" in de Balie

Het heet een debatcentrum. Maar hoe kun je debatteren als je enkel gasten uitnodigt die het met elkaar eens zijn? Het was maandag 12 Maart weer zo'n avond: De Balie maakte zich druk over het democratisch gehalte in Rusland.

Zo, dat was weer een eensgezind avondje Putin bij het reguliere Atlantische "debat-" huis @DeBalie met enkel criticasters van Putin.

Ook werd @thierrybaudet tussen neus en lippen nog een clown genoemd en @eelcobvr liet dat onweersproken.
