Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey was poisoned with the nerve paralyzing substance Novičiok in 2018 when he touched the door handle of the former Colonel Sergei Skripal of the Russian military intelligence service GRU and his daughter Julia.
According to British authorities, the attack on Skripal was almost certainly confirmed “at the highest level of Russian state institutions”. Moscow flatly denied this accusation.
Bailey said he had suffered various injuries and violence during his 18 years of service, but the effects of the poisoning “should not be underestimated.”

“The events of March 2018 in Salisbury took a lot out of me and even though I tried so hard to get over it, I know I won’t find peace as long as I stay in the same environment,” he wrote.
After the poisoning, the officer was treated in the intensive care unit for two weeks and tried several times to return to work.
The cloths survived, but the attack later claimed the life of a local resident, Dawn Sturgess, when a discarded perfume bottle fell into the hands of the woman, originally suspected of Novičiokas. Her partner became seriously ill after contact with Novičiokas, but recovered.
Britain has accused two Russian military intelligence agents of coming to the UK to carry out the poisoning operation, although Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed the suspects are civilians.
