The price of betrayal or how much was paid to Skripal's niece

Following the poisoning in the UK of fugitive GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter with the Russian-made potent substance "Novichok", the security officer's niece appeared on Channel One.

Many were puzzled as to why Victoria Skripal, a candidate for the Yaroslavl Regional Duma, needed this. The reason turned out to be mundane. The woman was paid for the broadcast – 1 million rubles.

Moreover, she now works for the channel's production company. Her monthly salary is 105,000 rubles. That was the price of the woman's betrayal of her relatives.
