MOSCOW/LONDON. June 25 (Interfax) - In connection with Prince Charles of Wales' visit to Salisbury, the Russian embassy to the United Kingdom reiterated on Friday that Russia was not involved in the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal and urged British authorities to end their anti-Russian campaign.
"Today we sent Prince Charles a letter in which we have spelled out our position on the Salisbury incident. We informed His Royal Highness that we have received a lot of letters from Her Majesty's nationals, who regretted the British authorities' current policy towards Russia," the Russian embassy said in a statement published on its website.
"The Britons do not understand how another country can be blamed without producing any facts or proof to the international community," the statement said.
Russia had nothing to do with the incident and continues to demand access to the investigation and the Skripals, it said.
"Three-and-a-half months have passed since the incident, and it has became clear that the political leadership hastened to identify a culprit without a trial or an investigation, bringing quite serious accusations against Russia literally several days after the incident - although the investigation, as is stated, is far from complete," the statement said.
"We again urge the British authorities to end the anti-Russian campaign, which causes serious harm to relations between our peoples, and to begin a joint investigation with Russia in order to establish the true causes of the Salisbury incident," it said.
Prince Charles of Wales and his wife, Duchess Camilla of Cornwall have visited Salisbury, meeting with several employees of emergency services who dealt directly with this incident.
The Skripals were found poisoned in Salisbury in early March. On March 12, British Prime Minister Theresa May said in parliament that they had been poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok (A-234), which was designed in Russia. Moscow has dismissed these allegations, saying that it eliminated all its chemical weapon stocks in 2017 under the supervision of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
