According to Lukashenko, the file proves “that German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s statements that Alexei Navaln, founder of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, has been poisoned, are forgeries.”
After the events in Russia, I noticed that a new mania appeared there, in the West: “Noviciok” again, poisoning again. So I have to tell you that yesterday or the day before, I don’t remember exactly, but before Merkel’s statement (she said she wanted to shut her mouth for him, Navalnas), we took over the conversation. As we understand it, Warsaw is talking to Berlin. Two subscribers communicate. The conversation was taken over by our radioelectronic military intelligence unit. With the deployment of military units there (on the western border of Belarus), of course, we are facing NATO forces in the field of radio communications. And we took over an interesting conversation whose participants (I will give you a copy to read, prepare and send to the Federal Security Service) clearly say that it is a forgery. There was no poisoning of Navalnas, “Lukashenko explained to M. Mishustin.

“A group of specialists, as I understand it, prepared facts for the Merkel administration, and perhaps even a statement, which she read,” Lukashenko said.
Pescova: There will be no contact with Merkel
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday that there had been no contact between Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“There will also be no coordinated contacts in the near future,” he told reporters when asked if Putin and Merkel had spoken after a German statement about the poisoning of the Kremlin critic Navaln.

According to a spokesman for the Russian president, Putin and Merkel are already talking quite often on the phone. “So probably if one of the parties decides it’s necessary, then those contacts can be made,” he said.
Commenting on statements by German politicians that Russian-German relations face an “ice age” if Moscow does not explain the situation with Navaln, Peskov said: “Both the Kremlin and our doctors and specialists have been explaining the situation from day one, and you have to be deaf not to hear that. “
The Kremlin sees no basis for sanctions against Russia and its Nord Stream 2 export gas pipeline project over the situation with opposition leader Navaln, a spokesman for Russian President Putin said.
“We do not understand the reason for the sanctions. We generally do not accept conversations about sanctions and sanctions language, we believe this is completely unacceptable. However, in this case we do not understand the reason for the discussion about sanctions,” said Dmitry Peskov to journalists.
He responded to the question whether the Kremlin expects sanctions from Germany or other Western countries, including the Nord Stream 2 project, for the events surrounding Navaln.
When asked to comment on the German parliament’s requests for the closure of the Nord Stream 2 project, a Kremlin spokesman said they were “quite emotional statements that are not based on concrete facts.”
“Nord Stream 2 is a commercial project that serves the interests of both countries and the energy security of the entire European continent,” added Peskov.
Western leaders demanded an explanation from Moscow on Wednesday after Germany announced that Russian opposition activist Alexei Navaln had been poisoned with material from the same group as Novičiok, a nerve paralyzing substance, “in an attempt to silence him.”
Navaln, 44, became one of many critics of Russian refugees and President Vladimir Putin last month, poisoned or poisoned by suspicious circumstances. He is currently being treated in a Berlin hospital.
Medical tests conducted at the German Military Chemical Weapons Laboratory provided “clear evidence” that A. Navalnas had been exposed to combat nerve paralysis by the Novičiok group.
At the end of the Cold War in the Soviet Union, the nerve paralyzing substance Novičiok in Salisbury, UK, was poisoned in 2018 by former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter. This substance belongs to the cholinesterase inhibitors.
The findings of the German military laboratory raised “very serious questions that only Russia can and must answer,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“There is no doubt that Alexei Navaln is the victim of a crime,” he said. “I wanted to silence him, and I condemn him with the harshest words possible.”
The news prompted European leaders to once again condemn Moscow for the event, which had already significantly increased tensions between Russia and the West.
