Sergey Skripal
Sergey Skripal is a former Russian military officer and double agent who became widely known after he was poisoned in the UK in March 2018 with a nerve agent known as Novichok. Skripal, who was sentenced to prison in Russia for espionage, had been living in the UK since a spy swap in 2010. His high-profile case drew international attention and led to a diplomatic crisis between the UK and Russia, with accusations of state-sponsored assassination attempts. The incident also highlighted issues surrounding the use of chemical weapons and espionage in contemporary geopolitics.
