| 2018-04-05 |
| [BBC] Russia state TV has aired a recording of an alleged phone conversation, which it says took place between UK poisoning victim Yulia Skripal and her cousin. Ms Skripal and her father, ex-spy Sergei Skripal, are in hospital in Salisbury following a nerve-agent attack against them last month. In the recording, which has not yet been verified, she says she is fine. The UK government has accused Russia of being behind the attack, sparking an international diplomatic crisis. The alleged Yulia tells her cousin Viktoria: "Everything is ok. He [her father] is resting now, having a sleep. Everyone's health is fine, there are no irreparable things. I will be discharged soon. Everything is ok." Related: Reuters - Russian ambassador to UK says happy Yulia Skripal recovering |
