MOSCOW. March 15 (Interfax) - The United Kingdom has refused to give Russia a sample of the substance that poisoned former Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) colonel Sergei Skripal or to share other factual information pertaining to this case, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.

"I can officially tell you again that London has been refusing to provide any factual information on this case. In fact, they have not given Russia anything - for instance, samples of the substance found at the crime scene," Zakharova said.

The UK has not shared other details of the Salisbury incident via bilateral channels or through international organizations, Zakharova said. "There is no information which could shed any light at all on what happened," she added.

"We are witnessing a continuation of this information-political show," Zakharova said.
