Nah, obviously there's a new type of mutant fish out there called a Blue Finned Novichok.
You forgot Jewish
They love to hate Jews.
Novichok on that you Russian fucksticks.
I can already hear certain members of this forum cracking through some warmups before the mental gymnastics as they attempt to convince us it might have been an FSB Intern's brother's wife's cousin acting alone without the blessing or knowledge of the russian state.
It was actually all done by Yulia's soon to be mother-in-law, who incidentally was an intern at a Chemical lab somewhere in Ukraine and also a poisonous fish.
My eyes are opening for the first time...
What's with the refusal to name it?
Novichok is a family of agents. At a guess, they want to pin down which exactly it is before they name it, but are agreeing with the UK analysis that it is a Novichok agent.
Weird thing about this nerve agent is that if you say its name it's immediately summoned. Obviously the OPCW don't want to deal with that so they avoided saying it
I hear it's a type of herring, but I never knew it came in blue, only red...

Remember, kids, if you ever poisoned by the Russian or any other government and you somehow manage to survive, take lots of selfies and upload them to the internet, otherwise the said government's going to complain about the lack of your photos.
Russia will just move the goalposts, like always, until people forget about it. Okay, sure, it was a Novichok agent, but the Russian state wasn't involved. How do we know? Because some Novichok agent was stolen from the Russian government by a lone agent named, uh, Guccifer 3.0. He swapped sides to work with the American deep state in a giant conspiracy to blame Russia for a nerve agent poisoning on British soil. Also, Russia doesn't have any Novichok nerve agents, and never has. Russia doesn't use chemical weapons - but have you heard about Agent Orange? The U.S. used that stuff, and it killed and deformed millions. Why didn't anybody ever pay for that? What do you mean Guccifer 3.0 stole Novichok from Russia? No, he got it from an abandoned Soviet-era chemical weapons workplace in Uzbekistan. We never had any. Unlike America, we don't use nerve agents. Speaking of nerve agents, CIA operatives may have covertly given Assad that Sarin gas. How do we know? Because America uses chemical weapons, we don't. It must have been them, because Russia doesn't use nerve agents. Another nerve agent attack in Britain? More Novichok? Ah, that must have been Guccifer 4.0 - another lone agent! Why doesn't Russia clean up old Soviet chemical weapons plants? Ask Uzbekistan, Russia doesn't deal with nerve agents. Russia doesn't use nerve agents. Novichok was actually created by a Ukrainian-born Kazakh, not a Russian, so can you really call it a Russian nerve agent? We just want to get to the truth of the matter here. We don't use chemical weapons. Also, just a reminder: America does! How do we know this wasn't just a false flag? We need more investigations. We should stop investigating, this is a waste of time, it was all Guccifer 5.7, just a fat American on a computer from New Jersey who emailed the Novichok to Skripal. Speaking of, can we visit Skripal? We care about the Russian people, and would never use a nerve agent on one of our own. Another nerve agent attack? Pradafer 2.0, we swear. We don't use chemical weapons - but the West does!
Repeat this line of thought for about twenty more pages and you have a solid week of RT material.
These Russian Bots are getting pretty sophisticated.
Putin has been trying for years to establish Pics Or It Didn't Happen as an international norm
lol, hows that for you @karimatrix
Remember when he made photoshopped pics for the airline craft that was shot down by russian backed rebels?
Seriously, don't say that.
Because I feel like there's going to be that one person who comes in this thread, sees that and goes:
"lol, wtf you think Putin himself makes fake photoshop pics that he then uses for proof of something? lol, you guys shouldn't believe the western propaganda!"
Well so this is actually true, then Putin (or whoever thought of it) is ridiculously fucking retarded. The guy, let alone his daughter, was already nothing of concern to them, so why the fuck would they actually do this still eludes me. Just to "take that, you bitch"? Pathetic.
Your feigned outrage is adorable, but you know as well as I do that Putin is no idiot. The Skripal attack was part of a deliberate strategy to project power while maintaining diplomatic deniability. It also had the added benefit of generating international outrage, which is useful when your grip on power depends on a narrative of victimhood.
As was said in the past, even if we do have confirmation, what do expect other than to get a, "Da, and? Vhat you vill do about it?"
The OPCW press release, and the summary of the report. Note in particular the last few points:
8. The results of analysis of biomedical samples conducted by OPCW designated laboratories demonstrate the exposure of the three hospitalised individuals to this toxic chemical.
9. The results of analysis of the environmental samples conducted by OPCW designated laboratories demonstrate the presence of this toxic chemical in the samples.
10. The results of analysis by the OPCW designated laboratories of environmental and biomedical samples collected by the OPCW team confirm the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical that was used in Salisbury and severely injured three people.
11. The TAV team notes that the toxic chemical was of high purity. The latter is concluded from the almost complete absence of impurities.
12. The name and structure of the identified toxic chemical are contained in the full classified report of the Secretariat, available to States Parties.
There is also an earlier note issued by the Director-General of the OPCW outlining the investigation. Of note is this point:
5. The results of the sample analyses are expected to be received by early next week. Once the results of the analyses of the samples are received, the Secretariat will produce a report on the basis of these results and will transmit a copy of this report to the United Kingdom. The report will reflect the findings of the designated laboratories. Access of other States Parties to the report will be subject to the agreement of the United Kingdom, pursuant to the Confidentiality Annex of the Convention, the OPCW Policy on Confidentiality, and the consistent practice in relation to other technical assistance visits. The United Kingdom has expressed its wish to be as transparent as possible and has already indicated its preference for disclosure of the report to other States Parties.
In other words, Russia is probably free to peruse the details of the investigation as they please. Wonder what they'll come up with this time.
High purity. Yeah, that means this wasn't some backwoods cook-up by a terror cell or a cheap imitator. This came from the source.
They'll lie their arse off for the purpose of public propaganda. Since the actual details will remain classified to us common folk, they can play on that as "Oh the evidence proves we're not responsible", no matter how much the evidence, the UK and other state parties disagree. The OCPW similarly won't chime in to rebuke them, since it's beyond their remit.
I'd kill to see that report, I hope it comes into the public domain at some point.
For future reference please read the rules before posting.
Your dream came true.

Yeah, no. BZ is an anticholinergic and would've produced symptoms exactly opposite to those of a nerve agent. Lavrov is full of shit.
Hey man don't shoot the messenger.
How utterly shocking, a Russian source pinning the poisoning of a Russian ex-spy in the UK on The UK and America! \ /
