Salisbury, April 10: Spy Poisoning issue which led to the repulsion of hundreds of diplomats from western countries and Russia as well has brought new news that Yulia Skripal, the poisoned daughter of Russian ex-spy Sergei, has been discharged from the hospital.

She was poisoned with a nerve agent in the British city of Salisbury along with her Russian ex-spy father.

Medical Director of Salisbury District Hospital Dr. Christine Blanshard confirmed the 33-year-old was discharged. Dr. Blanshard said: "This is not the end of her treatment but marks a significant milestone.

"We have now discharged Yulia. Both patients have responded exceptionally well to the treatment we've been providing, but equally, both patients are at different stages in their recovery."

She also said it is hoped Sergei Skripal will be able to be discharged "in due course".

Britain and its allies have blamed Russia for carrying out the attack, the first offensive use of a nerve agent in Europe since World War II, sparking a major diplomatic crisis.

The Russian embassy in London said today that any secret relocation of the Skripals will "be seen as abduction or at least as their forced isolation".

The UK government says Russia was behind the poisoning, and Prime Minister Theresa May said Moscow was "culpable" for the attack.

But the Russian government denied any involvement and has accused the British of inventing a "fake story".
