Killers Identity confirmed as senior GRU agents. The evidence is far beyond all reasonable doubt. Putin ordered the use of a chemical weapon on the streets of a UK city.

What say the anti-British conspiracy theorists now?
- There are a lot of killers. We have a lot of killers. Well, you think our country is so innocent?
- Our relationship with Russia has never been worse thanks to many years of U.K. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!
Or, as popular blogger having connections with state security agencies wrote, there is no evidence of the suspects' involvement with military or intelligence after 2014. Maybe they are retired, or maybe they were set up by MI6, who knows?

I think that we don't spread nerve agents in the streets of the UK resulting in millions of pounds of costs in clean-up. I think we don't use nerve agents to kill our enemies in any city anywhere in the world.
I think Russia has a long and proven history of using poison to kill its opponents abroad.
I think it is beyond all doubt that Salisbury was the work of senior Russian intelligence agents - at least one of which was decorated personally by Putin recently.
Our relationship with Russia has never been worse thanks to many years of U.K. foolishness and stupidity
Our failing relationship with Russia is entirely due to the resurgence in Russian Eurasian nationalism and the actions of a totalitarian dictator who rigs elections with actual murders of his political opponents, invades his neighbours and sanctions black-flag operations to boost his popularity.

Retired GRU agents do not have access to military-grade nerve agents.

Bellingcat compared the passport number on Col. Shishmakov’s cover-identity passport, with the numbers of the (cover-identity) passports of “Petrov” and “Boshirov”. The numbers were from the same batch, with only 26 intervening passport numbers between “Petrov”’s (654341297), and “Shirokov”’s (654341323) number. “Shirokov”’s passport was issued in August 2016, implying that Petrov’s and Boshirov’s passports were issued by the same special authority earlier that year. Indeed, as we will see in their international itinerary below, they start travelling in early April 2016, suggesting that only 26 passports were issued by this special authority between April and August 2016....
The travel itinerary of the two murderers can be seen in the map at the link above showing their intense activity on a security-issued passports since 2016.
You took my joke too seriously
A coordinated response today from Western governments. The game is up for Putin the Mafia Don...
It's going to get interesting in the USA. The State Dept are on to Putin. Trump refuses to criticise him, for reasons best known to Putin and Trump.
The Netherlands has accused four Russians of plotting to hack the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which had been probing the chemical attack on a Russian ex-spy in the UK
The UK government accused the GRU of being behind four high-profile cyber-attacks, whose targets included firms in Russia and Ukraine; the US Democratic Party; and a small TV network in the UK
The US said its anti-doping agency and the US nuclear energy company Westinghouse were targeted by Russian intelligence
Canada said "with high confidence" that breaches at its centre for ethics in sports and at the Montreal-based World Anti-Doping Agency were carried out by Russian intelligence
Added to this, the Dutch authorities have said a laptop seized from the four suspects in April was found to have been used in Brazil, Switzerland and Malaysia.
In Malaysia, the Netherlands said, it was used to target the investigation into the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in 2014 over territory held by Russian-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine. All 298 people on board were killed.
Trump refuses to criticise him, for reasons best known to Putin and Trump.
You can add Putin to a long list of scum that Trump praises... Bashar al-Assad, Rodrigo Duterte, the Rocket man he loves so dearly.
Second Skripal Poisoning Suspect Identified as Dr. Alexander Mishkin ...
Bellingcat can now report that it has conclusively identified the second suspect, who travelled to Salisbury under the alias Alexander Petrov. In its previous reporting, we already produced evidence that “Alexander Petrov” is not an authentic persona, but an undercover alias for an officer of a Russian security agency. In another report, we established that “Petrov” was specifically working for Russia’s military intelligence, the GRU.
We have now identified “Alexander Petrov” to be in fact Dr. Alexander Yevgenyevich Mishkin, a trained military doctor in the employ of the GRU. Bellingcat’s identification process included multiple open sources, testimony from people familiar with the person, as well as copies of personally identifying documents, including a scanned copy of his passport. The full identification process will be described in the upcoming full report.
