(6 Nov 2019) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said no evidence of Russian guilt in the poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the UK was ever given to his country's diplomats.
Speaking at a media panel discussion, Lavrov said that it was unfair for other nations, such as European Union countries, to blame Russia for the 2018 nerve agent attack in Salisbury.
Lavrov said that following the poisoning, Russian diplomats in the UK were never "given any details" about the case apart from "what had been said publicly" and were "promised to get more facts in the future."
In Wednesday's discussion, Lavrov was also critical of the investigation into the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in 2014.
Lavrov claimed that Russia never received radar, communications and satellite data after the plane was shot down over eastern Ukraine.
During the chat, Lavrov also said he believed Russian media outlets suffer from "Russophobia" and said there was "nothing surprising in the discrimination."
