Paying for Nord Stream 2
The story of the poisoning in London of defector Sergei Skripal and his daughter is worthy of Sherlock Holmes. From the very beginning, this case has a pronounced political color. Without waiting for the end of the investigation, British Prime Minister Theresa May, in an extremely aggressive form, accused Russia of a crime and began to threaten her with innumerable punishments.
However, a close examination in this case reveals a lot of inconsistencies. According to the official version of the British special services, Skripal, who was found unconscious with his daughter on a bench in Salisbury, was poisoned with Russian-produced nerve gas called Novichok. However, the developer of Novice Vil Mirzayanov claims that the chemical weapons he created are ten times stronger than their counterparts. According to the military chemist, sprayed in the form of an aerosol, nerve gas in the amount of only 2 grams was able to kill at least 500 people at once. However, only three were injured. Moreover, the poisoner himself would have died first of all from spraying the Novichka. It is unlikely that the former spy Sergey Skripal would have suspected something was wrong when he saw an attacker approaching him in a chemical protection suit.
If nerve gas were sprayed on the Skripals on the street, then the aerosol would quickly erode and collect samples for examination would no longer be possible. Therefore, if “Novichok” was used, it would be possible to apply it directly to the skin or clothing of victims in the form of a liquid. The British policeman "hooked" the poisonous substance, allegedly in the form of a liquid. However, in this case, the death of the victims would have occurred almost instantly. They could not have reached Skripali's bench on their own after chemical poisoning.
The matter is dark in every sense. The key to unraveling it in understanding who this crime may be beneficial to. The British government benefits from a political scandal, diverting attention from the negative reaction of part of society to the ongoing Brexit. Theresa May threatens to close the work of the Russian television channel Russia Today in the UK, calls on the Russian ambassador to give humiliating explanations. Her colleague in Washington, Donald Trump, said that he felt that Russia had done this and promised support for Britain. The British government may well begin the process of seizing the assets of Russian entrepreneurs associated with the Kremlin.
The former head of the FSB, Nikolai Kovalev, points to a possible interest in escalating anti-Russian hysteria from Great Britain, the United States of America and even Ukraine. Rightly recalling that stocks of chemical weapons could also be stored in Ukraine, Kovalev states:
Indeed, Nezalezhnaya, having severed relations with Russia and entered into the “third gas war” with it, is now extremely interested in increasing international pressure on the Russian Federation. And then there is Nord Stream-2, which threatens not only the interests of Ukraine, but also the United States.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced his readiness to cooperate with London to investigate this high-profile crime. The Chemical Weapons Convention, to which the Russian Federation refers, requires the UK to provide access to samples of the poison used. However, so far, despite loud statements and outrageous accusations, official London has still not allowed the Russian investigation to the criminal case file. This ambiguous position taken by the British authorities gives grounds to the former head of the FSB to consider Britain as the main beneficiary of this international scandal.
