Yulia Skripal, who was poisoned with a nerve agent in an English city last month along with her Russian ex-spy father Sergei, has said she is recovering, according to a police statement issued on her behalf on Thursday.
"I woke up over a week ago now and am glad to say my strength is growing daily," Yulia Skripal was quoted as saying.
Yulia Skripal, 33, and her 66-year-old father were found on March 4 slumped on a bench in the southern English city of Salisbury where the former Russian double agent lived.
