According to the German magazine Der Spiegel, this information was released during a closed-door meeting with members of the Bundestag (German parliament), the Secretary of State for Defense, Gerd Hoofe.
According to Der Spiegel, the levels of toxic substances in A. Navaln’s skin, blood and urine samples were minimal, but his results are reliable.
According to the magazine, traces of the toxic substance were also found in a bottle that Navaln had with him and that his relatives passed on to doctors in Berlin. It is believed that the opponent drank from the bottle after poisoning, leaving toxic substances in him.
NATO chief: There is no doubt that A. Navalnas has been poisoned by material from the Novičioko group
There is no doubt in the North Atlantic Alliance that Russian opponent Alexei Navaln has been poisoned with nerve paralyzing material from the Novicok group, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday.
“Germany has informed the Allies of the results of tests carried out by a special laboratory. They show that Mr. Navaln was undoubtedly poisoned by nerve paralyzing material from the Noviocok group,” the NATO chief told a press conference.
He added that “this [cheminio] the use of a weapon is appalling, and all NATO allies have unanimously condemned today’s attack. “
“Any use of chemicals is a lack of respect for human life and an unacceptable violation of international standards,” Stoltenberg said.
NATO also called on Moscow to carry out an international investigation into the Navaln poisoning and to disclose the Novicok program to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
“The Russian government must cooperate fully with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in conducting an impartial international investigation,” Stoltenberg said after an urgent meeting of the North Atlantic Council.
“We also ask Russia to fully disclose the Novicok program of the OPCW,” he added.
On August 20, Navaln, 44, felt ill on a plane to return to Moscow from Tomsk in Siberia. The plane landed in Omsk and for two days A. Navaln was treated in a hospital in that city and later transferred to a clinic in Berlin for specialized treatment.
On September 2, Berlin announced that medical tests carried out in a military laboratory had provided “clear evidence” that Navaln had been treated with a neurological paralyzing substance from 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.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has asked Moscow to provide explanations for the alleged poisoning of A. Navaln. According to her, the victim of the opposition was a victim of the crime and it is precisely established that substances belonging to the same group as Novičiokas were found in her body.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was ready to fully cooperate with Germany to clarify the situation on Navaln. However, he added that Berlin had not yet responded to Moscow’s previous official inquiries.
Peskov also said that “before the transfer of the patient to Berlin, a complex of tests had been carried out in our country in accordance with all international standards, and no toxic substances had been detected.”
