Poisoned daughter of former Russian Spy Sergei Skripal, Yulia, declines help from Russian Embassy The poisoned daughter of Russian former spy Sergei Skripal, Yulia, has rejected Russian embassy help. The 33-year-old, who was discharged from hospital on Monday, said her father is "still seriously ill". In a statement issued through the police, Yulia Skripal, said she was not yet strong enough to give a full media interview but insists that no-one speaks for her or for her father. The Russian embassy said it doubted the statement "really belongs to Yulia" and said it raised new questions. Yulia Skripal and her 66-year-old father, who were found slumped on a park bench in Salisbury, UK on March 4 were exposed to the toxic nerve agent Novichok. Mr Skripal remains at the Salisbury District Hospital. SOURCE: BBC ---DECRYPTED---
