Ex-spy’s daughter Yulia Skripal discharged from hospital – media


Yulia Skripal, the daughter of the former Russian double agent, was discharged from hospital on Monday.

“Having made a rapid recovery in recent days, Ms Skripal was discharged on Monday and taken to a secure location,” Sky News reports with reference to its own sources. A statement from her doctors is expected today.

Earlier the journalists reported that her father had recovered consciousness.

On March 4, Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, were found unconscious at a shopping mall in the English town of Salisbury. The two were taken to hospital in critical condition. The were reportedly poisoned following exposure to an unknown substance. A bit later, British Prime Minister Theresa May said they had been poisoned with Novichok, a military-grade nerve agent of a type developed by Russia. Novichok might have been smeared hours earlier on the handle of Mr Skripal’s front door at his home on the edge of the city.

The incident caused a number of rows and triggered a diplomatic war between the West and the Kremlin.
