Russian opponent
Alexey Navalny
accuses Russian President
Vladimir Putin
of being behind his poisoning.
This was stated in an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel.
"I affirm that Putin is behind this crime, I have no other version of what happened," Navalny declares, according to an excerpt from the interview that will be published in full later.
"You don't feel pain, but you know you're dying," Navalny said of the moment the poison began to take effect. He then said that he intends to return to Russia: "My task now is to remain fearless. And I'm not afraid."
