Alexey Navalny
The head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, called the incident with Alexei Navalny an attempt on his life. Deutsche Welle reports.
“We condemn this assassination attempt without any ambiguity. These are the words we must use: attempted assassination, ”said an alliance spokesman. He also once again called on the Russian authorities to cooperate in investigating Navalny's intoxication, including through the OPCW. Borrell also noted that the situation with Navalny could have consequences for relations between Russia and the European Union.
Earlier, Navalny published the first post after coming out of a coma. The picture shows him in a hospital bed surrounded by his family. “I still can hardly do anything, but yesterday I was able to breathe all day myself,” he signed the photo.
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 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.
