London-Sana
Russian Ambassador to Britain Andrei Killin rejected the accusations leveled against his country about poisoning the dissident Alexei Navalny, describing them as (unacceptable), pointing at the same time to Moscow's commitment to the Chemical Weapons Treaty.
"During a meeting between the Russian ambassador and the Director General of the British Foreign Ministry, Thomas Drew, at the headquarters of the British Foreign Office, the British side raised the issue of Alexi Navalny's transfer to the hospital and called for an investigation into the incident," said a statement by the Russian embassy in London reported by Sputnik today.
The statement added that the Russian side indicated not to accept the baseless accusations and the politicization of the issue, which is a matter of a purely medical and legal nature, expressing his country's interest in revealing all the facts related to this incident.
Regarding the assumptions that Navalny has been poisoned with a banned chemical, Killin emphasized Russia's commitment to its obligations towards the Chemical Weapons Treaty.
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced the day before yesterday that it was monitoring anti-Russian statements regarding the health status of Navalny's case, especially after what was mentioned in a joint statement issued in this regard by the German Foreign Ministers Heiko Maas and French Jean-Yves Le Drian.
A plane transported the Russian dissident Navalny to Berlin on the twenty-second of last month to continue his treatment, as he is still in a coma, but German doctors confirmed that there is no danger to his life now.
