Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has said that Russia has never had a nerve agent called “Novichok,” saying that those who say otherwise do not have full information on the issue.
“If, for some reason, the British called their chemical agent A-234 ‘Novichok’ — it is a question for them and for those Russian citizens who have lived in the West in recent years and decades,” Ryabkov pointed out.
Ryabkov said that Russia had never had such a weapon, and it had never been put in service in Russia.
“For this reason it is absent from the list substances that are declared under the Chemical Weapons Convention: simply because it was not in service, not with us. Such developments, which could be considered the creation of a poisonous substance under the code-name “Novichok”, did not exist and does not exist,” the deputy minister stressed.
Samovar With ‘Novichok’: Russian Intel Vets Mock Skripal Case
On March 4, Skripal and his daughter were found unconscious on a bench at a shopping center in the English city of Salisbury and are currently at a hospital being treated for exposure to a nerve agent. UK Prime Minister Theresa May has accused Russia of orchestrating the poisoning attack and expelled 23 Russian diplomats as a punitive measure. On Thursday, the European Union recalled its Ambassador to Russia Markus Ederer for consultations.
Russia has strongly rejected the accusations and offered to assist in the investigation. However, Moscow’s request for samples of the chemical substance used to poison Skripal was denied. Russia has also expelled UK diplomats and ordered the British Council to stop its activities in the country in response to the UK move.

It was an old Kgb trick- to sell non-existent info in order where it will swim up. Who knows….
Trying to kill the Nordstream II with Novichok. The mental grip the English enjoy over Europeans is astonishing. However their politics is the origin of mainstream anti-European. Not Mongols, Ottomans, Russians, Alexander the great or aliens but the English, they are the archetype anti-Europeans.
