The treatment of Sergey Skripal gives results, his condition is quickly improving, the chief medical officer of Salisbury Hospital, where the former GRU agent is treated after being poisoned with a nerve agent, says in a statement.

“He is responding well to treatment, his condition is improving rapidly and is no longer critical,” Christine Blanchard, chief medical officer at Salisbury District Hospital, said in a statement.

She also briefly informed about the state of the Skripal's daughter Julia, who regained consciousness on March 29.

“As Julia herself said, she is gaining strength every day and is looking forward to the day when she will be healthy enough to leave the hospital. Any speculation about the possible date of this event is just that, speculation,” Blanchard said.

“Until then, Yulia asks that you respect her wish not to appear in public while she recovers, and I encourage the media to do the same,” the hospital director added.

The GRU ex-officer Sergey Skrypal and his daughter Yuliya found 4 on March 16 in Salisbury center on a bench in the public garden unconscious. Before that, they went to a local pub. The Mill and had lunch at a network pizzeria Zizzi.

British authorities believe that a Novichok nerve agent may have been used against Sergei and Yulia Skripal, and Russia is highly likely behind the attack.

The Russian authorities categorically deny any involvement in the attack.

Poisoning Skripal led to a serious deterioration of relations between Britain and Russia: London sent 23 Russian diplomats, Moscow responded in the same way. Soon, dozens of countries supported Britain, announcing the expulsion of Russian diplomats.

Last week, March 29, BBC sources reported that Sergei Skripal’s daughter Yulia regained consciousness and was talking.

On Thursday, 5 April, the London police released the first statement by Julia Skripal. In her statement, the daughter of Sergey Skrypal thanked the people who found her with her father in Salisbury and came to their aid, as well as the staff of the hospital where she is located. She did not provide any details about her condition or her father’s condition.

“I came to my senses more than a week ago and am happy to say that my strength is increasing every day. “I am grateful for the interest in my fate and for the numerous words of support that I received,” Yulia Skripal said in a statement.

On Thursday, the Russian TV channel published an audio recording of a telephone conversation, which, he claims, took place between Yulia Skripal and her cousin Victoria Skrypal, who is in Russia.

Why did Victoria Scripal record a conversation with Julia?
Previously, experts gave disappointing forecasts about the health of Skripale, who have been in hospital for a month after poisoning with an unknown substance.

One of the developers of the substance that was allegedly used to poison the Skripals, Vil Mirzayanov, said in an interview with the BBC Russian Service that if they survive, they “will not be bedridden, and may even be able to walk.” The main danger, in his opinion, comes from damage to the central nervous system.

Novichok is a group of chemical agents belonging to the class of organophosphate nerve agents. They were developed in the USSR at the State Union Research Institute of Organic Chemistry and Technology (GSNIIOKhT) in Moscow.

This week, after reports appeared about the improvement in the condition of Yulia Skripal and her father, the attention of the authorities and the media was attracted by the fate of the ex-GRU colonel's pets - two cats and two guinea pigs.

Apparently, the animals died a painful death as a result of poisoning. Public discontent and the Russian Foreign Ministry were caused by the fact that for a long time the British authorities did not mention anything about pets, whose health data could help in the investigation of Skripale poisoning.

5 April, the Russian embassy in London announced that it had already formally requested the British Foreign Office to provide information on the state of Skripal's pets.

On the night of Friday 6 of April, the Ministry of Environment, Food and Rural Development of Britain confirmed that one of Sergey Skripal’s cats had to be put to sleep due to a sharp deterioration in his condition. About the other pets of the ex-colonel of the GRU nothing was reported.

“He is responding well to treatment, his condition is improving rapidly and is no longer critical,” Christine Blanchard, chief medical officer at Salisbury District Hospital, said in a statement.
