The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has finished probing the Skripal case and sent the results to the British government, British media reported.
The OPCW report concluded:
“The results of the analysis by the OPCW designated laboratories of environmental and biomedical samples collected by the OPCW team confirm the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical that was used in Salisbury and severely injured three people”, noting that the chemical “was of high purity”.
However, the analysis failed to identify the origin of the agent Novichok. There is also a secret part of the analysis, which has not been revealed publicly.
The OPCW was asked by London to investigate the March 4 poisoning of the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the UK. The UK claimed the Russian origin of the used agent “Novichok”.
According the British newspaper Daily Mail the OPCW is going to send the results of the Skripal poisoning case probe to all of the organization’s member states, citing the UK Foreign Office.
“In line with established practice they have now shared a final copy of the report with us, as the requesting state,” the official told.
“We have asked them to distribute this version to all state parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention, including Russia, tomorrow and to publish the executive summary for all to see at 12pm BST”, the spokesman said.
Meanwhile, the heroine of the festivities Yulia Skripal and his father remain cut off from the outside contact as the Russian Embassy stated.
On April 11, the UK police wrote the statement on behalf of Yulia Skripal with her unwillingness to contact her family or friends or the refusal to interact with Russian Embassy:
“I have been made aware of my specific contacts at the Russian Embassy who have kindly offered me their assistance in any way they can. At the moment I do not wish to avail myself of their services, but, if I change my mind I know how to contact them”.
“I thank my cousin Viktoria for her concern for us, but ask that she does not visit me or try to contact me for the time being. Her opinions and assertions are not mine and they are not my father’s”.

Russia is calling for verification that the statement is genuine and that the words attributed to Yulia were indeed her own reported RT.
“With no possibility to verify it, the publication by the Metropolitan Police raises new questions rather than gives answers,” the Russian embassy’s message said.
“To sum up, the document only strengthens suspicions that we are dealing with a forcible isolation of the Russian citizen. If British authorities are interested in assuring the public that this is not the case, they must urgently provide tangible evidence that Yulia is alright and not deprived of her freedom”.
The Russian embassy demanded the UK to give “tangible evidence that Yulia is alright and not deprived of her freedom”, Russian news agency TASS reported.
However, The UK is still refusing to provide any information about Russian citizen Yulia Skripal’s location or state, emphasizing Yulia is “free to decide on whether she wishes”.
It seems to be clear the British “isolated” stance in the Salisbury case.The UK is still trying to abduct any information of the “falling apart” Skripal case.
