Russia’s most prominent opposition politician, Navaln, felt bad last month on a plane flying from Siberia, where he had gone to investigate corruption and promote his “smart vote” campaign against regional elections.

After the plane landed quickly, the 44-year-old politician was taken to the Omsk city hospital and later transferred to a Berlin clinic, where doctors discovered that he had been poisoned with Soviet-made combat equipment from the Novičiok group. . Material from the same group, according to the British government, was poisoned in 2018 in the English town of Salisbury by former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter.

Navaln’s colleagues believe that he was poisoned in Tomsk and that the use of this banned chemical weapon shows that only the Russian state can be responsible for the poisoning.

Although the international community calls on Russia to carry out a transparent investigation and threatens to impose sanctions otherwise, the country has not launched a criminal investigation.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was rejecting “the dictates of other countries, when and what legal procedures we should take.”

He argued that “de facto investigative actions are being carried out, but … there is no de jure basis for the criminal process, since all the tests carried out by Russian specialists have shown the absence of toxic substances” and it cannot be relying on German tests, “especially when performed in German military laboratories.” “.
