Sergei Skripal's relatives suspect that he is dead.

Former Colonel Sergei Skripal

The last time Sergei Skripal's daughter, Yulia, contacted her relatives was on her aunt Elena Yakovlevna's birthday at the end of July. At that time, she said that her father was recovering, but because he had a tube in his throat, he couldn't speak. She promised that the tube would soon be removed, and that her father would call his relatives.

From that point on, the Skripal father and son made no further phone calls. According to Victoria, family members began to suspect that Sergei was dead or in critical condition.

"Why do we think so? Because Yulia said that after three days her father would be able to call, that he really wanted to. We're all waiting, especially her mother; she really wants to hear from her son… He's a good man. He loves his mother and will call her whenever he has the chance," the interviewee told the news agency.

According to her, it's strange that no photos of Skripal have been published in the press, unlike the case of FSB Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Litvinenko, who was poisoned in London in 2006.

In a video released by Reuters on May 23, Yulia Skripal stated that she hoped to return to Russia. She also mentioned the assistance of the Russian Embassy in London, but noted that she did not wish to ask for their help at the moment.

In Salisbury, England, on March 4th, former intelligence colonel Sergei Skripal, who worked for the British special services, and his daughter Yulia were poisoned. The British side claims that the Russian state was involved in the "poisoning" of Skripal with substance A234, which they consider equivalent to "Novichok." Russia vehemently denies all accusations of involvement."The Skripal case".
