\nSergei Skripal, the ex-Russian spy poisoned with a powerful nerve agent in the UK in March, triggering a fierce diplomatic standoff with Russia, has been discharged and taken to an undisclosed location, it was announced today.<\/p>\n
The 66-year-old former Russian double agent and his daughter Yulia were found slumped on a bench on March 4 along with his daughter, Yulia, after being exposed to novichok, a military-grade nerve agent.<\/p>\n
They were hospitalised in critical condition and spent weeks in critical condition.<\/p>\n
Yulia, 33, recovered more quickly than her father and was discharged last month and also taken to an undisclosed location.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an important stage in his (Skripal\u2019s) recovery, which will now take place away from the hospital,\u201d said Lorna Wilkinson, director of nursing at Salisbury District Hospital, where the Skripals were treated since being admitted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile these patients have now been discharged, their right to patient confidentiality remains and limits us from giving detailed accounts of the treatment these individuals received,\u201d a hospital statement said.<\/p>\n
The poisoning incident had triggered a major diplomatic crisis after the British government accused the Kremlin of organising the attack Skirpal and his daughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
