    An ambulance is being flown with a team of specialists to treat patients who will take off tonight (Friday) from Germany to Russia to pick up Alexei Navalny, a humanitarian foundation in Berlin said. Navalny collapsed yesterday after being allegedly poisoned while drinking tea before a flight, and is hospitalized in a Siberian city of Omsk.

    The Peace Foundation, founded by a Slovenian activist and filmmaker, organized the evacuation of Piotr Varzilov, another Kremlin critic, after he was poisoned in Moscow. The fund said that Verzilov, a member of the Pussy Riot group, wanted to send a plane to Nabalani.

    "For humanitarian reasons, at the request of Piotr and Razilov from Riot Posey, we will send a midnight air ambulance with medical equipment and experts who can bring Navalny to Germany," said the foundation's founder Jacka Bisilch. "We are in contact with the authorities and hope that tonight we will be given all the approvals for the transfer and a medical report on the patient in a coma." He added that the Cherty Hospital in Berlin is ready to admit him.

    Bizilch told the Bild newspaper that the plane would return from Omsk in the morning, if Navalny was fit to travel.

    Earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her country was ready to provide medical assistance to the villain if such a request was granted. She said Berlin insists that the circumstances that led to his sudden hospitalization should be clarified. Merkel added that the information currently available does not look good.
