The cover of the two men accused of poisoning the Skripals has been blown after an investigative website discovered their identity.Website Bellingcat has uncovered the identities of Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov, whom they say have bene using aliases to disguise their true actions.
Investigating expertise has conclusively identified of one of the suspects in the poisoning of Sergey and Yulia Skripal, and in the homicide of British citizen Dawn Sturgess. The two suspects caught on camera traveling internationally and appearing on Russian television under the aliases “Ruslan Boshirov” and “Alexander Petrov” have now been shown to be undercover officers of the Russian Military Intelligence, widely known as GRU. This news will blow the hot issue into overdrive, a sit now puts Russia in a tight corner it can’t escape from. Russia can now have no legitimate words to escape the truth of what has occurred.
The suspect, who had used the cover identity of “Ruslan Boshirov” is in fact Colonel Anatoliy Chepiga, who was a highly decorated GRU officer bestowed with Russia’s highest state award, Hero of the Russian Federation. The website says the identities of the suspects have been independently verified. The pair were caught on CCTV on a reconnaissance mission at Salisbury station in March, and seen again on camera not far from the property of the Skripals, not long before the poisoning was executed. Bellingcat has finally nailed the two suspects in the Novichok poisonings as Russian officers operating on a clandestine government mission.
The two suspects recently went on Russian national television to plead their innocence and express concern for their lives following the accusation of guilt from the British authorities. They claimed to have been tourists harmlessly visiting the Uk. Their claims have now been shown to be deceptive, just s they were believed to be at the time. There was never any real doubt of their guilt and indigenous Russians had widely ridiculed the credibility of the denials.
Concrete evidence shown by investigators reveals that in December 2014, Colonel Chepiga was awarded Russia’s highest state award, Hero of the Russian Federation. The highly regarded award was also announced on Chepiga’s military school. The award is reportedly bestowed personally by the President of Russia “as recognition of services to the state and the people of Russia involving a heroic deed”.
Website Bellingcat and The Insider, conducted an extensive investigation of high standard, and say the award from Russia to the two gents was meant to be a secret. The true identity of the suspect has also been independently verified, according to the website. The revelation will intensify the Uk and the EU’s resolve in imposing sanctions on Russia, and now appear to prove beyond any doubt whatsoever that the pair where in fact in Salisbury as secret agents with a deadly mission. Unless it is simply a coincidence that Russian officers with the background of the two suspects just happened to be in Salisbury by chance, just moments before the poisoning. That’s too unlikely to even contemplate.
