Clinic “Charite”
The blood samples of Alexei Navalny, which were studied in Sweden and France, were taken by doctors from these countries. The situation was explained by the German Foreign Ministry, RIA Novosti reports.
The representative of the German Foreign Ministry Maria Adebar noted that doctors specially came to take tests from France and Sweden. It is noted that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is still waiting for an explanation from Russia on the situation with Navalny.
Earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, compared the situation with Navalny to the poisoning of a former GRU employee Sergei Skripal and his daughter in British Salisbury in 2018. According to von der Leyen, “this behavior of the Russian authorities will not change.”
On September 2, the German government said 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 say that no poisons were found in the patient's analyzes. On September 10, it became known that Navalny had completely recovered. On September 14, he was disconnected from the artificial lung ventilation (ALV) apparatus, and the Russian was able to get out of the hospital bed.
