Russia asked that the key body of the UN will meet to discuss the letter from the Prime Minister of great Britain Theresa may, in which she confirmed that it was “highly likely” that Russia was behind the attack with nerve gas on Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia.
In a letter of 13 March, the Prime Minister gave Moscow an ultimatum to respond to her accusations, although has not presented any convincing evidence. Russia, in turn, has repeatedly denied any involvement in the poisoning Skripals on British soil.
Russian officials have repeatedly offered assistance in the investigation into the attack, but London has rejected Moscow’s proposal.
“The main argument of the British side about the undeniable Russian-origin substance,” Vassily Nebenzia, Russian permanent representative to the United Nations, told the Council.
“Boris Johnson continues to impress all British side is supposedly sent to Russia a list of questions that he has still not received any answers. All in fact quite the opposite. As I said, We had a list of questions and I would like to turn to the British side, if you have a list of questions, please tell us, please list these issues,” he said.
At the insistence of great Britain that Moscow was coordinating the attack, he asked, “could you come up with a better fake story?”
UK participates in the propaganda war against Russia, Nebenzia said is aimed at discrediting the country on a global scale. But even propaganda war threat.
“We told our [UK] colleagues, you are playing with fire and you will regret because it is one thing to put forward unsubstantiated accusations, and quite another to start a conversation using professional terms that means not just who can talk the loudest in diplomacy, but it requires clear answers to very specific, serious questions”.
Although British politicians and the media seem to think the case is closed Skripal, “believe me, my friends, this story and this investigation is far from complete,” the Russian representative said. “Actually, this is only the beginning.”
“We assume with a high degree of probability that the intelligence agencies of some countries for this mega provocation”.
Attack on Russian citizens in Salisbury was more of a “terrorist act”, – noted the official. “We demand consular access to Julia Skripal,” – said the Russian diplomat. UK side claimed that Skripal had received the message and that the UK party “wait[ing] her back.”
In turn, the British diplomat Jean-Maurice Ripert said about the desire of Russia to be part of the investigation into the attack that injured two Russians, “the arsonist wants to investigate his own fire.” While the UK does not have anything to hide, she said, “I am afraid that Russia might have something to fear.”
The US Ambassador stated that Moscow seeks to use the UN Security Council to extract political benefits.
This is the case when “sentence first, verdict later” nebesa said, alluding to the classic absurd children “Alice in Wonderland”.
