Poisoned ex-spy Sergei Skripal no longer in critical condition, Salisbury hospital

Poisoned ex-spy Sergei Skripal is no longer in a critical condition and has responded well to treatment after a nerve agent attack last month, the hospital treating him says. He and his daughter Yulia were poisoned by a nerve agent last month in the British city of Salisbury. "He is responding well to treatment, improving rapidly and is no longer in a critical condition," Christine Blanshard, Medical Director at Salisbury District Hospital, said. The UK Russian Embassy was elated by the news that both Yulia and her father are on the mend.
