Russia will get data on Skripal case only if UK shows ‘goodwill’
Badhon : The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has refused to provide Russia with any facts on the investigation into the )soning of former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, permanent representative to the organization Aleksandr Shulgin said. Any data can be provided only if the UK shows ‘goodwill’ on the matter, which, however, is unlikely, given London’s behavior, Shulgin said. (RT)
The official stressed that Moscow is very interested in establishing the truth, since ‘Russian nationals have become victims of actions, closely resembling a terrorist act.’ Russia, along with China and Iran, presented a draft proposal for tackling the Skripal case at the OPCW’s extraordinary session on Wednesday. The plan had two main points: launch a joint Russia-UK investigation into the Skripal case, and instruct the director General of the technical secretariat of the OPCW to support such work, Russian representative said.
