Russia: Trace of Western-made nerve agent seen in UK samples 16 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy the Associated PressRussia’s foreign minister says Moscow has received a document from a Swiss lab that analyzed the samples in the nerve agent poisoning of an ex-Russian spy, which points at a Western-designed nerve agent as a likely cause. He said the analysis was done at the request of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The OPCW’s report confirmed British findings that the Skripals were poisoned with a military-grade nerve agent, but didn’t say who was responsible. Britain has accused Russia of poisoning them with a Soviet-designed agent, an accusation that Moscow denies.
