Russian Foreign Ministry: Skripal was “hidden” by British secret service, British dragged them into provocation
The victims of the Salisbury incident, Sergei and Yulia Skripal, were "hidden" by British secret services, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with Italian magazine Panorama.
"The actions of the British authorities have raised many questions. Among them, information about the activities of a secret laboratory located at Porton Down, near Salisbury, has not been made public. The victims themselves have been kept in the dark by the British secret services," the minister said.

"What Russia is most concerned about now is the health of the Skripals and their son, as well as the fact that they were dragged into this provocation by the British," Lavrov noted.
Former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in the British city of Salisbury on March 4, sparking an international scandal. London claims that the poisoning of the Skripals with the nerve agent A234 was carried out by the Russian government, an allegation Moscow has vehemently denied.
