According to Lavrov, London's abandoning of official channels in connection with the poisoning of Skripal and his daughter shows its great conceit. He noted that in accordance with the Chemical Weapons Convention the United Kingdom was obliged to send an official request to the country it had suspicions about. "But no such request was sent,"Lavrov said, adding that, "moreover, the British representative to the OPCW (Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons) started asking our envoy why Russia was trying to refer to the Chemical Weapons Convention, because in his words, it was sufficient that the British foreign secretary had summoned the Russian ambassador and told him everything,"the Russian top diplomat pointed out.
"You know, this kind of conceit shows in almost all the steps London has been taking -- not only in this particular case," Lavrov noted.
