British Ambassador to Moscow Laurie Bristow has stated during a meeting in the Russian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday that London would not provide fingerprints of two male suspects in the Skripal case, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova informed TASS.
“The Russian Foreign Ministry has requested that the British ambassador to Moscow provide fingerprints of men that London called suspects in the Skripal case and connected them to Russia,” the diplomat informed. “The British ambassador stated that the British side would not provide these materials.”
Zakharova added that London also declined to share any other information related to the case, including the suspects’ ID numbers, and their personal information. “We hope that Interpol, at least, will deliver this information to us,” the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said. Earlier she stated that the suspects’ names “say nothing” to Russia.
The British side has refused to respond to requests of the Russian embassy concerning the information on two suspects in the Skripal case, she said.
