EX-RUSSIAN SPY'S POISONING IN UK

OPCW confirms UK findings

Daughter declines Russian help but embassy doubts statement
AFP, London
The world's chemical arms watchdog yesterday said it had confirmed Britain's findings on a nerve agent used in an attack on a former spy last month, which London said came from Russia.
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," according to a summary of the Haguebased group's report.
It added that "the toxic chemical was of high purity".
In a declassified summary of its findings, the OPCW did not make any assessment on who carried out the March 4 attack on former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the English city of Salisbury that also
injured a police officer.
Britain and allies including the United States have blamed Moscow, sparking furious denials and provoking an international row resulting in the expulsions of diplomats from all sides.
The OPCW did not name the chem-
ical, saying that information and its structure would be in a full classified report available to signatory states of the organisation.
Britain named it as Novichok, a group of powerful and deadly chemi-
cal compounds reportedly developed by the Soviet government in the 1970s and 1980s.
Russia has strongly denied any involvement, and insists it has destroyed all of its chemical weapons.
Skripal moved to Britain in a spy swap in 2010 and settled in Salisbury, and his daughter Yulia was visiting from Russia when they were poisoned, possibly on his front door.
Meanwhile, the Russian embassy in London has requested consular access to the Skripal, and warned that any secret resettlement of the family "will be seen as an abduction or at least as their forced isolation".
In a statement issued through British police on Wednesday, Yulia Skripal said she did not currently want any help from the embassy, adding: "I am safe and feeling better as time goes by."
