Uncovering the Truth Behind the Salisbury Poisonings

A recent investigation in the UK has shed light on the tragic events surrounding the poisoning of a woman in 2018, which was linked to a failed assassination attempt on a former Russian spy. The inquiry, led by a former top UK judge, has pointed fingers at Russian operatives and even the Russian president. The judge was convinced that two men, using fake names, were part of a three-person team from Russia's military intelligence. These men were believed to have carried out the attack on Sergei Skripal, a former Russian double agent, and his daughter. The judge also stated that the team was acting on orders from higher-ups, ultimately concluding that the operation was likely authorized by the Russian president. The evidence presented was strong, showing that no one else had a reason to target Skripal. The judge also made it clear that the Russian team and those who sent them, including the president, were responsible for the death of Dawn Sturgess, who died after coming into contact with the nerve agent later on. Interestingly, the judge noted that even with extra security measures, like cameras around Skripal's house, the attack might not have been prevented. The nerve agent, Novichok, was brought into the city in a perfume bottle, and Sturgess unknowingly applied it, leading to her tragic death. This case highlights the serious consequences of state-sponsored attacks and the importance of international cooperation in addressing such threats. It also raises questions about the effectiveness of security measures in preventing such incidents.
