POISONED SPY’S DAUGHTER REFUSES RUSSIAN HELP

The daughter of poisoned spy Sergei Skripal says she has declined help from the Russian Embassy as she comes to terms with her recovery from the nerve agent attack that has left her ill and her father hospitalized. Yulia Skripal says in a statement Wednesday that she finds herself in a “totally different life than the ordinary one” that she experienced before the poisoning in the southwestern English city of Salisbury. She was released from the hospital earlier this week and is in secure location, according to police. The 33-year-old says she has been made aware of offers of help from the Russian Embassy but “at the moment I do not wish to avail myself of their services.” The statement was distributed by London’s Metropolitan Police.
