Wolfgang Cubes
Germany declared the impossibility of a lasting peace in Europe without Russia. This opinion was expressed by the vice-president of the Bundestag Wolfgang Kubiki from the “Free Democratic Party” faction, RIA Novosti reports.
The politician noted that relations between Moscow and Berlin should not slide into the “ice age” because of the situation with Alexei Navalny. He added that it was in the interests of both sides to clarify the circumstances of this incident without premature accusations.
According to Kubika, Russia is an important partner “in a common European home.” “Europe will have a lasting peace only with Russia, not against it,” he added.
Navalny became ill on August 20 during a flight from Tomsk to Moscow. In the first two days, doctors from the Omsk hospital helped him. They also introduced him to an artificial coma. On August 22, the patient was sent to a clinic in Berlin.
On September 2, the German government announced that military toxicologists had found traces of a substance from the Novichok group in Navalny's body, and called on the Russian government to respond to this information. Russian doctors noted that they had not identified any poisons. In September, Navalny was brought out of a coma and discharged. Rehabilitation will take several weeks, after which he plans to return to Russia.
