Russia is imposing retaliatory sanctions against Germany and France due to the situation with Alexei Navalny. In the Russian Federation, they believe that the opponent may have been poisoned, but after being hospitalized.
This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, reports TASS.
He said Russia cannot rule out the version of Navalny’s poisoning either in Germany or on the plane that took him to a Berlin clinic.
Recall that Navalny fell into a coma on August 20. In Omsk, Russia, doctors stated that the working diagnosis was metabolic disorders. Russian doctors found no poisons in the body of the opponent. Two days after hospitalization, at the initiative of the Navalny family, they were transferred to the Charite clinic in Berlin.
The German government later reported that Navalny had been poisoned with a Novichok-class substance that falls under the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
Subsequently, France and Germany have developed proposals with sanctions against certain people who may be involved in the poisoning of Navalny. These proposals were supported by the countries of the European Union.
As RBC-Ukraine wrote, the European Union introduced sanctions against the Russian Federation due to the Navalny poisoning in mid-October.
