Yesterday, Mrs may spoke of the involvement of the top Russian leadership — we reiterate that neither the top leadership nor the leadership of a lower rank, no official representatives had and have nothing to do with events in Salisbury. This can not be and speeches — any idea on this matter or charges are not valid.Dmitry Pescovitz Secretary of the President of Russia

In order to ensure that the Russian authorities had legal grounds to validate the identity of citizens who are suspects in the case of poisoning Skrobala, you must appeal to the British side, said the spokesman. “There is a common practice, and from the very beginning the Russian side proposed cooperation in the investigation of the circumstances [of poisoning]. The British side refused that,” reminded Sands.

According to British prosecutors, Petrov and Bashirov on the territory of Russia; it is possible that they used pseudonyms. The Ministry said that is not going to appeal to Russia with the extradition request because the Russian Constitution does not allow extradition of its citizens.

On the same day, Mei said that the suspects belong to “Russian military intelligence, known as GRU.” She noted that they received the order to “high level” of the Russian leadership.
