Following Kremlin statements, Navaln vows to sue Pescova

“It just came to our notice then. Therefore, I will first sue Pescova. Second, I demand the publication of evidence and facts that demonstrate” working with CIA specialists. “Show it live on TV at the best time. I leave, ”wrote A. Navalnas on his blog.

Earlier on Thursday, Navaln accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of poisoning in his first interview after discharge from a German hospital.

In response to Navaln’s remarks, Kremlin spokesman Peskov said that “such accusations against the Russian president are completely unfounded and unacceptable.”

According to him, there is information that “specialists” of the CIA “these days” worked with A. Navalns and instructed him.

“There is information that these instructors are working with him these days,” Peskov said.

“The instructions the patient receives are obvious. We have seen this pattern of behavior more than once, “he added.

On August 20, Navaln became ill and lost consciousness while flying from the Siberian city of Tomsk to Moscow. After an emergency landing, he was treated for more than a day at the Omsk City Hospital and transferred to the Charite University Hospital in Berlin on August 22.

On September 2, German officials, based on the findings of the country’s military laboratory, announced that traces of poison from the group of nerve paralyzing substances created by the Soviets Novičiok were found in the body of A. Navaln. Material from the same group, according to London, poisoned former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury, England in 2018.

France and Sweden independently confirmed Germany’s findings.

The Kremlin has denied allegations of having contributed to the Navaln poisoning and accused Western leaders of conducting a disinformation campaign.

A month after Charite’s treatment, a 44-year-old Kremlin critic was discharged, doctors said he could make a full recovery.
