We remember Sergei Scripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with agent Novico in March last year, but fortunately survived the attack. On the other hand, Moscow says the new sanctions will harm bilateral ties. Trump signed an executive order on August 1st imposing a series of sanctions against Moscow, as defined by the Chemical and Biological Arms Control Law (CBW).
At that, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said the move was linked to the 2020 presidential election in the United States. He confirmed that Russia is not surprised by Washington's move. On the other hand, Moscow has flatly denied it behind poisoning, issues that have caused tensions and debates between the two countries.
