Navalny, critic of the Kremlin, speaks for the first time after being poisoned
Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny has spoken for the first time since he was poisoned. On Instagram he writes about a photo that shows him in the hospital:
“Hi, I’m Navalny,” Navalny writes. “I miss you. I still can’t do anything for myself, but yesterday I was able to breathe on my own all day. Truly independent. I didn’t need any outside help, not even a valve in my throat,” he shared with his followers about his progressive recovery According to Navalny, breathing is an amazing process that many do not value enough.
Just yesterday it emerged that the poisoned Russian critic of the Kremlin no longer needed to be ventilated and could temporarily leave his sickbed in Germany. His health has continued to improve and he is mobilizing more and more, the Charité hospital in Berlin announced on Monday.
Meanwhile, two other special laboratories in France and Sweden have determined that a neurotoxic agent from the Novitschok group is the cause of Navalny’s poisoning. The German government also announced this on Monday.
Speaker: Navalny will return to Russia
According to his spokesman, Navalny wants to return to his native Russia after recovering. “Other options have never been considered,” Kira Jarmysch said Tuesday on Twitter.
It’s strange when someone accepts something else. The “New York Times” had previously reported that Navalny had communicated his plans to return to German authorities. At the beginning of the month, German politicians called for the Russian opposition to be granted asylum in Germany. French President Emmanuel Macron had also granted Navalny asylum.
