Russian state television yesterday aired what it said was a phone conversation between a relative and Yulia Skripal, who was poisoned in Britain last month along with her father, a former spy.

Presenters on Rossiya 1 television's "60 Minutes" talk show said they had obtained the recording from Yulia's cousin Viktoria, but added that they could not confirm its authenticity.

In the call, a woman introducing herself as Yulia Skripal says she is expecting to be discharged from hospital soon and that her father Sergei is "fine". "It is Yulia Skripal," the woman says in Russian at the start of the brief chat.

"Everyone's health is fine. There is nothing that is irreversible. That's it, I'll be discharged soon. Everything is OK," she adds.
