We came to Salisbury to see the famous cathedral: the Skripal poisoners gave an interview
The channel interlocutors said that they were not agents of special services, but tourists.
Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the RT channel, interviewed Russians Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov for the first time, whom the United Kingdom accused of being poisoned by the Scripale family. The journalist said that she was the only one whom these people trust. At the same time, it is still not clear whether the channel itself talked with the people themselves.
«Petrov and Boshirov "in an interview began to deny involvement in the poisoning of Skripale
On the day of September 13, RT published an interview with two men who are considered to be the very suspects in the poisoning of the former GRU Colonel Sergey Skripal and his daughter Yulia. They confirmed that it was their photographs published by the British police, these are their real names and they often fly to Europe for business and pleasure.
Interlocutors RT said they were not related to the incident and are now afraid to go out. According to Petrov and Boshirov, they do not cooperate with the Main Intelligence Directorate, but work as “medium-sized entrepreneurs” in the fitness industry.. Simonyan asked what unites the two men, hinting at their orientation, but they refused to talk about their personal lives.
The suspects noted that they visited the UK for tourism purposes and spent there three days. According to them, 3 of March they walked around Salisbury for about an hour due to heavy snowfall and the difference in the schedule of electric trains, after which they returned to London. They allegedly planned to see Stonehenge, the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary and Old Sarum, but could not do it because of the "snow collapse." On March 4, both men saw that “everything melted away” and again went to Salisbury to “complete this business” - to visit tourist sites.
Friends we have long been advised to visit this beautiful city. Salisbury is a tourist city with a cathedral, famous throughout Europe and the world. He is famous for his 123-meter spire, famous for his watches. The first watch that was invented in the world that still go.
From the very beginning we planned to come to London and break away, roughly speaking. It was not a business trip. We have planned out in such a way that we will visit both London and take a trip to Salisbury.
“Petrov and Boshirov” in an interview with RT
The channel's interlocutors said they did not know whether they were at Skrypaley’s house: “Maybe they passed by, I don’t know, I didn’t hear that name before this situation at all.”
"Petrov and Boshirov" reacted sharply to the question about the bottle of perfume Nina Ricci, where, according to the British police, the poison was contained: "Normal men carry women perfumes with them - is it not stupid?" The very fact of having a poisonous substance in the suspects was called “nonsense.”.
According to Alexander and Ruslan, if Putin had not publicly called them to communicate with journalists, they would have recorded a video message.

By words Glavred RT, suspected of Skripale poisoning, they called her cell phone themselves, which "everyone really knows, even couriers."
