Sergei Skripal, the former Russian spy poisoned on British soil last month, is no longer in critical condition and improving rapidly, a U.K. health official said Friday.
Dr. Christine Blanshard, the medical director at Salisbury District Hospital, said in a statement that Skripal, 66, is “responding well to treatment.”
Skripal, a Russian-born British citizen and his daughter, Yulia, were found slumped over on a park bench on March 4, after having been poisoned with what officials have said was a military-grade nerve agent.
They were hospitalized in critical condition. Doctors revealed last week that Yulia Skripal, 33, had awoken from a coma and was rapidly improving. She said in a statement issued earlier this week that her “strength is growing daily.”
