On March 4th, former Russian-British double agent Sergei crippa and his daughter You Liya were found unconscious in Salisbury, England. According to the British government, crippa’s father and daughter were poisoned by poison а 234, which belongs to the "Novichok" nerve agent developed by the former Soviet Union. Britain accused Russia of being involved in this matter, which Russia firmly denied. This incident triggered the exchange of diplomats between Britain and Russia, as well as between the western world and Russia.

On Thursday, local time, You Liya, who woke up after coma, issued a statement through the London police. The statement said that his body is also recovering every day. Yulia said that I believe everyone understands that the whole plot of the poisoning incident is somewhat confusing. (Compile/Overseas Network Hou Xingchuan)
