Former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal is no longer in critical condition one month after he was attacked in Salisbury with a nerve agent, the hospital treating him said on Friday.
"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 in a statement.
The incident has strained diplomatic ties between the UK and Russia. London has blamed Moscow for the attack on Sergei and his daughter, but Russia has vehemently rejected the accusations.
