In the absence of clear and sufficient evidence, PM Theresa May confidently averred that the nerve agent “Novichok” – used in an “attempted assassination” of Sergei Skripal in Salisbury – was manufactured by Russia.
Both Skripal and his daughter Yulia have been hospitalized. There have been virtually no detailed reports regarding their state of health which is described as “critical”.

Concomitantly, the distinction between “the attack clearly came from Russia” and “the nerve agent clearly came from Russia” is also relevant in refuting the UK allegations.

WMD Lies Strike Again: The Skripal Incident
By , March 16, 2018
The UK’s presumption that “only Russia” could have produced the agents when the creator of Novichok lives in the United States – and British labs clearly have access to the poison – is at face value contradictory and dishonest.
