Putin's 'tourist' accused of nerve agent attack is a highly decorated Russian intelligence officer

• The UK has accused two Russian men, Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, of poisoning a former Russian spy in England earlier this year.
• Russian President Vladimir Putin described the two men as civilians. Petrov and Boshirov also claimed they visited the UK as tourists.
• The investigative-journalism site Bellingcat on Wednesday identified one of the men as Col. Anatoliy Chepiga, a high-ranking intelligence official in Russia.
• Bellingcat's findings seem to disprove Moscow's claim that the men are civilians, as well as bolster the UK's claim that they acted on the orders of the Russian government.
• Russia's foreign ministry called the findings "a new portion of fake news."

Well no surpise there, russia lied again .

 

there was no such attack, to start with, in fact the Skripals were simply arrested by MI6, this is how the whole hoax began. Russia is more likely to be responsible for senator McCain illness and resulting death, for that matter.

 

They have volunteered to spend the rest of their lives in the Russian Federation. Probably rich as ****.

 

You must be very young, or if you're an adult, very naive. And I wonder what Bellingcat's agenda is in all this? Have you thought of that aspect?

 

How easy it is to fool the gullible masses.

 

I know what russia agenda is in all this.

But go ahead make an argumetn against bellingcat.

 

wow 18 minutes before a russian troll responds. Nice.

ANd since when was McCain an ex russian spy that was still working with foreign secret services' against russia?

 

Unsurprising. Puttin Is q tyrant

 

The Kremlin had always lied, does lie, and shall always lie. I learned that fact by the time Inwas 5 years old.

 

Well of course the most agreeing with the kremlin are paid for that.

 

What a load of Siberian Yak turd. The Russian Kremlin sends two "tourists " who are security or foreign intelligent agents to kill a former Russian spy and you blame MI5.

That is bad even for Russia aplogists.

 

The Czars, the Bolsheviks, the Communists, and now Putin and the oligarchs have been doing that for centuries to the prison of nations aka Russia.

 

wow, to call everyone disagreeing with you a troll - way to go.

since when you should be Russia spy to necessarily get killed by Russians?

 

yeah, sent to kill but failing at it? just like that, huh?.. you do believe santa claus exists too?

 

the incident is on record and you are claiming it never happened. the reality is putin is a murderer, that too is on record for anyone that opposes him.

 

Me? YOu are disagreeing with the UK and the western media. Because you rather believe a dictator that he didnt kill there ex spy still working against them?

Well putin is a dictator but not crazy. He had quite some reasons to kill an ex spy, no reason to kill a senator.

 

No St Mykola brought my toys when I was a kid. Did St. Brezhnev bring yours?n

 

That was then - this is now? See the difference?

 

Coming from a guy who looked at photos of the two Russian guys taken on different days and declared them suspect because they wore different cloths this is genuinely funny.

 

Same as russian paid trolls speading fud is on record.

 

what record? where's proof? see the Skripals alive & kicking after purportedly being fatally poisoned.

 

and it is them who scream about trolls when disagreed with.

there's no such thing as "ex" when it comes to spies. Skripal, Litvinenko and others have never stopped working for the FSB, and their 'defection' was merely a cover-up story to conceal them being planted in the UK.

 

Just remarking the reality; this forum for some bizar reason has its share of russian trolls.

Well putin might try that as his next lie, its more believable then the "they were tourists" .

 

No, same attitude toward the common man and national ethnic and religious minorities. The breath of the bear still stinks be he Romanov, Evil Grozniy Ivan Ivan The Terrible, Lenin The Red , or Putrid Putin.
