Moscow finds London’s answers on Skripal case just don’t add up
TASS, Apr 24 2018
THE HAGUE – Britain has failed to provide answers to the most important questions on the Skripal case, the Russian Permanent Mission to the OPCW informed TASS on Tuesday. The mission stressed:
The materials we have received from the British side do not suit us. We will certainly need some time for a more detailed analysis. The first impression is that the British have not given answers to the most important questions that we asked. (We’re considering) possible options for further steps. Anyway, we will seek substantial answers on the aspects which are vital for us.
On Apr 13, Russia handed over to Britain a list of questions concerning the Salisbury poisoning in accordance with Article 9 of the CWC. The answers to these questions were due to be received by Apr 23. The Russian permanent mission earlier confirmed that they had been received within the established deadline, namely, on Monday evening. UK Permanent Representative to the OPCW Peter Wilson earlier said the answers would be sent to Russia and all of the organization’s member countries. However, it is still unclear whether that has been done.
