DISINFO: The UK violates international law by denying Russian embassy in London any access to Yulia Skripal
SUMMARY
We do not need to prove anything because the UK grossly violates Article 36 of the 1965 Convention signed by the USSR – it is functioning now – and Great Britain according to which a consular officer has the right to unimpeded contacts with a citizen of his country in the situation when something happens to him.
