Moscow [Russia], Apr. 15 (ANI): Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed on Saturday that the toxin used to poison former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, was BZ toxin, as confirmed by a Swiss laboratory.
"Based on the results of the examination, traces of the toxic chemical BZ and its precursors, related to chemical weapons of the second category in accordance with the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, were found in the samples. BZ is a nerve agent temporarily disabling a person. The effect is achieved within 30-50 minutes and lasts up to four days," said Lavrov.
However, the most intriguing aspect of his claim remains to be the fact that the toxin has been in the possession of the US and the UK and has never been produced in Russia.
Lavrov further questioned the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which is investigating the poisoning incident, for not taking into consideration the information about the BZ nerve agent, which, along with Novichok toxin, was not mentioned in the OPCW's final report.

OPCW did not collect its own samples and it makes no sense that they would do so, weeks after the incident.
More Russian lies, like the Ukraine coup, like shooting down 71 of the missiles from Friday, then, the next day, turning around and saying, they’d provide Syria with better defenses, all lies.
I seriously wonder what is going on here. Who can be trusted?!

The link you provided was not derived directly from the Swiss report so it is no more believable than the RT article itself. So Im still not believing that the Swiss report says what RT says it says. Im reserving judgment until the Swiss (or the UN which has it) release their report and we can see it ourselves.
Ill be surprised if it is released at all. Ive become accustomed to being misled and lied to by many authorities.
I hate that I've become so cynical and jaded by never-ending disinformation and I now question everything but how can we be sure the samples given to 4 labs were samples from the original attack?
The only way to be sure the samples were original were for representatives from each lab to have gone to the scene immediately and independently collected their own samples.
I no longer know who to trust or what to believe.
They just had a recall on that. I am Serious. Look it up.
They certainly did so. The OPCW took blood samples from the three victims (the third, who tends to be forgotten, being the policeman who found the Skripals on the park bench), and directly from the bench, house, car etc. Indeed they were photographed doing so.
Russia, russia, russia...
I still believe the Clintons are involved and sending a message.
SS1
He couldn’t confront us.
Contrary to popular lore, he would be humiliated on a MASSIVE scale.
LOL just need some frozen peas and carrots and some mashed potatoes!
Haven’t had that in a long, long time. (the TV dinner that is)
Which while subject to skepticism by Freepers and ordinary Americans, would be, if it agreed with their view, be unassailable evidence to Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Brennan and the rest of the FBI and CIA.
How is this news any less reliable than the hearsay in the Steele dossier which came directly from Russian intelligence sources?
I think if Russia had wanted to kill him to silence him, they would have killed him a long time ago, years ago, when he switched sides, to keep him from revealing information.
I think it is logical that he was poisoned now, just to try to cause trouble for Russia.
I can say for sure that I could care less if Russia was franed for this or not. If they were framed they deserve it. If they want to start world war 3 over it, then they might want to wait for a pushover US president to do that.
The little pot pies aren’t horrible. I keep a few in the freezer for when I don’t want to do anything but heat and eat, FAST.
(Of course there’s not much to them but dough and gravy...)
Sure it could have been the Russians, but where is the motive? And would it benefit or hurt them?
Lots of people want us at war. Or a cold war. Neocons, intelligence agencies, defense contractors, other opportunists.
History is full of examples. From kristallnacht to all of Saddam’s Plutonium.
Coincidence? I think not!
It’s not. But then we’re not Comey et al.
Probably just rich politicians.
Thx.
They wouldn’t have been selling it for decades if people didn’t lol.
