Daughter of Sergei Skripal was in a 'stormy relationship with a secret service agent working for Putin'



The critically-ill daughter of poisoned Russian spy Sergei Skripal was dating a secret service agent, it was revealed today.

Yulia Skripal, 33, was with her father when the pair were attacked with a nerve agent in Salisbury, Wiltshire, two weeks ago.

The pair collapsed in the city and are still fighting for their lives in hospital following the incident which shocked the world.

And it has now emerged that Yulia was in a stormy relationship with a man who is believed to have been working for Vladimir Putin.

According to The Sun on Sunday, the unnamed man's mother was also a 'high ranked' security agent working in Moscow.

The revelation that he was working for the Russian president's security network adds weight to any suggestion she was deliberately targeted along with her father.

Meanwhile, it is also believed that Yulia worked in the US Embassy in Moscow while she was in the on-off relationship with her boyfriend.

1. Putin is being reelected as we post.

It is a mighty f'ed up world.

2. This will be their "out"

It will be claimed the bf acted independent of Putin to get revenge on his gf for something and that he knew how to get the nerve agent because of where he worked.

4. There are many outs

Note that Salisbury is only 6 miles from the UK's chemical and biological warfare center at Porton Down.

3. It Is Misleading For The Article Headline

to say secret service agent. First impression was that I thought she was involved with an American.

"The KGB's main successors are the FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) and the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service)"

5. It's not clear whether he was a member of either FSB or SVR

There may be other organizations in Russia.

If you know the Three Letter Acronym, then it is not really a secret service, is it?

[Me.]

6. Then They Wouldn't Know If Such A Service Existed Either

A small point but as I say I found it misleading

7. At one time, the CIA did not exist, but people worked there and cab drivers knew how to get there

Same thing with the No Such Agency.

So you can now presume that the real intelligence and intercept collection operations are elsewhere.

[Me.]

8. Or I Can Presume The Headline Was Not Precisely Correct

10. Plus GRU. Often called together the Russian secret services

9. Honeypot to get to her?
