"I can confirm that they are alive. I can confirm that the request from the Russian embassy to meet with these two people has been passed on to them," Mr. Bristow said, noting that they did not want to meet with representatives of the Russian embassy.

"I think it's not hard to understand why they don't want to meet with Russian state representatives. That's their choice," Mr. Bristow noted.

Earlier, the Russian Embassy in London said it could not claim that former GRU colonel Sergey Skripal and his daughter Yulia were still alive.

Elena Skripal, the mother of a former GRU agent, has asked Russian law enforcement agencies to declare her son missing.

British police later said they had received no corresponding notification from Moscow.
