sources here tell me that czech secret services were in a battle with russian spies operating in theal provided into the workings of russian military intelligence were important. given the track record of mr skripal, i could imagine he would be very valuable. i am not aware if there would be any more interesting defectors right now in the hands of the intelligence. while it is not unusual for defectors like skripal to brief the intelligence services of allied countries, a well—placed source said czech intelligence officers possibly did ask him for names of russian spies operating in the country. this seniorjournalist believes sergei skripal still had relevant information. he was working in a high—level position, he still had the knowledge about the guys from gru who are all over europe. so he would have known names, exactly what they were doing? most likely he had the information about the guys who are still working for gru. if he had been uncovering russian spies, that could have been a motive for moscow trying to kill him. but one source here in prague told me that czech intelligen
