Kremlin sees no reason to meet victim of Amesbury incident
A spokesman for Russian President Dmitry Peskov believes that there is no need for the British Charles Rowley, a victim of the Amesbury incident on July 4, 2018, to meet with President Vladimir Putin.
On the eve of Rowley visited the Russian Embassy in London. He and his brother were warmly received by the head of the diplomatic mission, Alexander Yakovenko, on a tour for the guests of the embassy and clarified many points related to the poisonous substance known as Novichok. Rowley said during the conversation that he would like to meet with Putin personally.
A spokesman for the Russian president explained to reporters that Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko actually represents the Russian leader in Britain. Thus, according to Peskov, Rowley’s meeting with the diplomat was an “indirect dialogue” with Vladimir Putin. He added that the request of the poisoned Briton to meet with the head of state will still be considered in the Kremlin.
It should be noted that after the meeting at the Russian Embassy in London, Rowley gave conflicting comments to the press. On the one hand, he said that he liked the ambassador and communication with him allowed him to get new information, on the other hand, the British still believes that Russia was involved in his poisoning and the death of his girlfriend Dona Sturgers, who was poisoned with the same substance. Official London also holds the same position.
