'We have not identified the precise source, but we have provided the scientific info to government who have then used a number of other sources to piece together the conclusions'

諾維喬克（俄語：новичок，羅馬化：Novichok）是蘇聯在1970年代及1980年代開發的一系列神經毒劑^[1]。據稱有些衍生物的毒性可能是 VX 的五至八倍，但無法得到證實^[2][3]。諾維喬克屬於蘇聯「Foliant」計劃中開發的第四代化學武器^[4]，最早的名稱是K-84，後來更名為A-230。
