The participants in the meeting considered it most beneficial," the intelligence source told AFP."When an intelligence agency, whether British or American, recruits someone like this, they use him for this purpose.

They offered him to allies, not only to the Czech Republic," the source added.Czech intelligence officials also met Skripal in Britain at least once, according to Respekt.The New York Times reported this week that in 2016 Skripal also met agents from Estonia, a formerly Soviet-ruled Baltic state that is now an EU and NATO member.Harrys Puusepp, spokesman for Estonia's Internal Security Service, declined to confirm or deny the report on Wednesday, telling AFP that the agency cannot "comment on our international cooperation".(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by TheIndianSubcontinent staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)
