Johnson: UK has evidence Russia stockpiling Novichok for 10 years

The United Kingdom will give the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) samples of poisoning substance used in Skripal’s case, said Boris Johnson in BBC prime time.

“We actually have evidence, which we’ve collected over the past 10 years, that Russia not only worked on the development of nerve agents for the purpose of committing murder but also created and stored [the substance] “Novichok”, British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson said to the BBC.

“Tomorrow our technical experts from the OPCW will come from the Hague to the United Kingdom and we will give them samples to test in an international laboratory with the highest reputation,” Boris Johnson said.
