Britain, the United States and other allies have accused Russia of involvement in an attack using the nerve agent Novichok against a former Russian double agent and his daughter in March 2018 in Salisbury, England. (AFP/Adrian DENNIS) After thousands of hours of work, they have traced the steps of Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov as they arrived in Britain on Mar 2, conducted a reconnaissance mission in Salisbury, carried out their attack on Mar 4 and immediately headed back to Russia. They believe they have pinned down a timeline of the failed attempt to murder Skripal, a former Russian double agent who came to Britain in a spy swap, in the first use of chemical weapons in Europe since World War II. It is alleged they sprayed the toxic poison Novichok on the handle of Skripal's front door in the city of Salisbury, southwest England. The Novichok was smuggled into Britain in a fake perfume bottle. Around 250 counter-terror detectives have spent six months trawling through the … [Read more...] about UK cops track movements of Novichok suspects Poisonous caterpillars uk UK demands Russia explain nerve attack after two more people struck down Britain demanded on Thursday that Russia provide details about the Novichok nerve agent attack on a former double agent and his daughter after two British citizens were struck down with the same poison. The two Britons, a 44-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man, fell critically ill after handling what police called a contaminated item near the site of the March attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal. Britain has accused Russia of poisoning the Skripals with Novichok - a nerve agent developed by the Soviet military during the Cold War - in what is the first known offensive use of such a chemical weapon on European soil since World War Two. Russia, which is currently hosting the soccer World Cup, has denied any involvement in the March incident and suggested the British security services had carried out that attack to stoke anti-Moscow hysteria. “The eyes of the world are currently on Russia, not least because of the World Cup,” British Home Secretary Sajid Javid said. “It … [Read more...] about UK demands Russia explain nerve attack after two more people struck down Two Britons poisoned with nerve agent near where Russian spy was struck down Two British citizens are critically ill after they were exposed to Novichok, the same nerve agent that struck down a former Russian agent and his daughter in March, Britain’s top counter-terrorism officer said on Wednesday. The pair, a local 44-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man, were hospitalized after being found unwell on Saturday in Amesbury, just miles away from Salisbury where ex-double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were attacked in March. “I have received test results from Porton Down (military research center) which show that the two people have been exposed to the nerve agent Novichok,” Neil Basu, Britain’s most senior counter-terrorism officer, told reporters.

Russia has denied any involvement in … [Read more...] about Two Britons poisoned with nerve agent near where Russian spy was struck down UK, US govts warn of Russia’s ‘malicious cyber activity’ Britain and the United States on Monday released a rare joint statement warning of "malicious cyber activity" carried out by the Russian state. The technical alert was issued by the U.K.'s National Cyber Security Center, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security. "The targets of this malicious cyber activity are primarily government and private-sector organizations, critical infrastructure providers and the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) supporting these sectors," the statement said. It warned everyone from internet service providers to home office customers to heed the warning, after the government agencies found cyber attacks targeting devices such as internet routers. "Russian state-sponsored actors are using compromised routers to conduct spoofing 'man-in-the-middle' attacks to support espionage, extract intellectual property, maintain persistent access to victim networks and potentially lay a foundation for future offensive operations," the … [Read more...] about UK, US govts warn of Russia’s ‘malicious cyber activity’ Watchdog confirms UK findings on nerve agent used on Russian ex spy Moscow strongly denies involvement in the March 4 Salisbury attack, which has sparked an international row resulting in the expulsions of diplomats from all sides AFP/Adrian DENNIS Separately, Russia shortly afterwards said it suspected British authorities of detaining the spy's daughter, who was poisoned with him, following her recent departure from hospital. Samples tested by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) "confirm the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical", the watchdog said. It made no assessment of who was to blame for the Mar 4 attack, which also affected Sergei Skripal's daughter Yulia and a local policeman. But British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said: "There can be no doubt what was used and there remains no alternative explanation about who was responsible. "Only Russia has the means, motive and record."

(Photo: AFP/Mikhail Klimentyev) Putin's plea came as Moscow expelled a Hungarian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move, just the latest escalation of tensions between Russia and the West since the nerve agent attack on a former Russian double agent a month ago. "What we expect is that common sense will in the end prevail and there will not be this damage in international relations that we have seen recently," Putin said after summit talks in Ankara. But at the start of a meeting of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), London slammed as "perverse" a Russian proposal for a joint probe into the poisoning of ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. "We will not agree to Russia's demand to conduct a joint investigation into the attack in Salisbury because the UK - supported by many other countries - has assessed that it is highly … [Read more...] about Putin urges ‘common sense’ as global watchdog meets on spy poisoning US, EU to expel more than 100 Russian diplomats over UK nerve attack The United States said on Monday it would expel 60 Russian diplomats, joining governments across Europe in punishing the Kremlin for a nerve agent attack on a former Russian spy in Britain that they have blamed on Moscow. It was the strongest action that U.S. President Donald Trump had taken against Russia since coming to office. He has been criticised by Democrats and members of his own Republican Party for failing to be tough enough on Russia over U.S. allegations of Russian meddling in the U.S. electoral system, including the 2016 presidential campaign. British Prime Minister Theresa May, welcoming the show of solidarity, said 18 countries had announced plans to expel Russian officials. Those included 14 European Union countries. In total, 100 Russian diplomats were being removed, the biggest Western expulsion of Russian diplomats since the height of the Cold War. Australia later confirmed it was expelling two Russian diplomats identified as undeclared intelligence officers, citing … [Read more...] about US, EU to expel more than 100 Russian diplomats over UK nerve attack Moscow blames UK as EU nations mull expelling Russian diplomats Investigations are continuing in Britain over the poisoning of a former Russian double agent. (Photo: AFP/Geoff Caddick) Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov hit out at Britain for garnering EU support over the poisoning of a former double agent, suggesting that London's focus was now on making "the crisis with Russia as deep as possible". Diplomatic pressure is growing on Moscow over its role in the nerve agent attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the English city of Salisbury in early March. The European Union is recalling its ambassador to Moscow for consultations and a number of member states are considering whether to follow Britain's lead and expel Russian intelligence agents posing as diplomats. "As for the decision taken, we regret in this context that again such decisions are taken using the wording 'highly likely'," President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. "We don't agree with this and we repeat again that Russia absolutely definitely has nothing to … [Read more...] about Moscow blames UK as EU nations mull expelling Russian diplomats EU blames Moscow for UK spy attack, recalls envoy European Union leaders united behind British Prime Minister Theresa May on Thursday in blaming Russia for a nerve agent attack in England, and agreed to recall their ambassador to Moscow for consultations. Some states are now considering following Britain's lead in expelling Russian diplomats, with Lithuania and France among those indicating a willingness to take action. British Prime Minister Theresa May had pressed the importance of a united response to the March 4 poisoning of former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the English city of Salisbury. At a summit in Brussels, the 28 EU leaders offered her their full support, agreeing "that it is highly likely that the Russian Federation is responsible and that there is no plausible alternative explanation". They pledged to "coordinate on the consequences", and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said they had agreed to recall the bloc's ambassador to Moscow for consultations. "Some member states are looking into possibly … [Read more...] about EU blames Moscow for UK spy attack, recalls envoy Russia says ‘not guilty’ of ex-spy poisoning as UK deadline looms Moscow on Tuesday denied it was behind the poisoning of a former double agent in Britain as a midnight deadline loomed to explain how a suspected Russian-made nerve agent was used in the attack. "Russia is not guilty," said Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov of the attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter in an English city on March 4. The United States, NATO and the European Union have all backed Britain in the deepening diplomatic crisis. Lavrov said Russia was "ready to cooperate", but complained Britain had rejected its requests for "access" to the nerve agent samples. British Prime Minister Theresa May told parliament it was "highly likely" Russia was behind the poisoning, giving Moscow until the end of Tuesday to respond. In a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, she called the attack "reckless, indiscriminate and despicable", adding she would inform MPs of her response on Wednesday. Ahead of the announcement, Britain's National Security Council will meet "to discuss the response from … [Read more...] about Russia says ‘not guilty’ of ex-spy poisoning as UK deadline looms

İngiltere, Fransa, Almanya, Kanada ve ABD, çifte ajan Sergey Skripal’in zehirlenmesi olayında Rusya askeri istihbarat servisi GRU’nun sorumluluğuyla ilgili ortak bildiri yayımladı. Söz konusu 5 ülke yayımladıkları ortak bildiriyle çifte ajan Sergey Skripal ile kızı Yuliya’nın zehirlenmesinden Rus istihbarat servisi GRU’nun ve Rusya devletinin üst kademelerinin sorumlu olduğuna inandıklarını açıkladı. İngiliz polisinin Skripal soruşturmasında kaydettiği ilerlemeden duyulan memnuniyetin belirtildiği bildiride, "İngiltere’nin, şüphelilerin GRU olarak bilinen Rusya askeri istihbarat servisi subayları olduğu ve operasyonun da hemen hemen kesin bir biçimde devletin üst kademesinde onaylandığı şeklindeki değerlendirmesine tam güvenimiz var." ifadesine yer verildi. Beş ülkenin ortak bir eylem ile deklare edilmemiş istihbaratçıları sınır dışı ederek, GRU’nun etkinliklerinin önüne geçmeye dönük adım attığı ifade edilen bildiride, Skripal soruşturmasının sonuçlarının da yabancı istihbarat şebekelerinin etkinliklerini önlemeye dönük ortak niyetlerini kuvvetlendirdiği kaydedildi. İngiltere’nin temmuz ayında Amesbury kentinde İngiliz vatandaşları Dawn Sturgess ve Charles Rowley’in zehirlenmesinde Skripal’in zehirlenmesindeki ile aynı kimyasal maddenin kullanıldığına dair değerlendirmesine de dikkat çekilen bildiride, "Rusya’yı, Novichok programını Kimyasal Silahların Önlenmesi Örgütüne tam bir şekilde açmaya çağırıyoruz." ifadesi kullanıldı. İNGİLTERE GÜVENLİK BAKANI PUTİN’İ SORUMLU TUTMUŞTU İngiltere Güvenlik Bakanı Ben Wallace bugün, Skripal'in zehirlenmesi olayından GRU'nun bağlı olduğu Rusya Savunma Bakanlığını ve Rusya Devlet Başkanı Vladimir Putin’i sorumlu tutmuştu. İngiltere Başbakanı Theresa May de dün parlamentoda yaptığı konuşmada, Skripal’in zehirlenmesinde rol alan kişilerin Rus istihbarat servisi için çalıştığını öne sürmüştü. İngiliz polisi, dün Skripal’in zehirlenmesi olayının faili olarak Aleksandr Petrov ile Ruslan Boşirov adlı 2 Rus vatandaşının fotoğraflarını ve güvenlik kamerası görüntülerini yayınlamıştı. RUSYA’DAN YALANLAMA Moskova, Salisbury saldırısının arkasında olduğu iddialarını kabul etmiyor. May'in açıklamalarına yanıt veren Rusya Dışişleri Bakanlığı sözcüsü Mariya Zaharova, Rus tarafına şüphelilerin isimleri veya fotoğrafları hakkında bilgi verilmediğini savundu. Zaharova, "Medyada yayınlanan isimler, fotoğraflar, bizim için hiçbir anlam ifade etmiyor.” diye konuştu. SKRİPAL KRİZİ İngiliz dış istihbarat servisi MI6 için çalıştığı ortaya çıktığında ülkesinde mahkum edilen ve daha sonra casus takasıyla İngiltere'ye gelen Rus ajan Skripal ile kızı Yulia, 4 Mart'ta Salisbury'de bir bankta bilinçlerini yitirmiş vaziyette bulunmuştu. Hastaneden taburcu edilen baba kızın tedavilerine evde devam edileceği bildirilmişti. İngiltere, Skripal ile kızının zehirlenmesinde, Rusya tarafından imal edildiği ileri sürülen, askeri nitelikte ve sinir sistemi üzerinde etkili bir kimyasal maddenin kullanıldığının kesinlik kazandığını duyurmuştu. Bu maddenin, Sovyetler Birliği tarafından 1970 ve 1980'lerde geliştirilen "Novichok" adlı kimyasal grubunun üyesi olduğu belirtilmişti. İngiltere'nin öncülüğünde başlatılan kampanya ile çok sayıda ülke 100'den fazla Rus diplomatı sınır dışı etmişti. QHA
