Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny admitted today (Monday) that he met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel during his hospitalization at the German capital, Charita, after being poisoned with military nerve gas during a flight en route to Russia. 

Navalny tweeted on his Twitter account that the meeting did take place and contrary to allegations heard in the German newspaper "Der Spiegel", it did not take place in secret.

"A meeting did take place but there is no need to call it a secret. It was a meeting and a private conversation with me and my family. I am grateful to Chancellor Merkel for visiting me at the hospital," he wrote.

Merkel herself has previously referred to the Navalny affair and claimed that it was an attempted assassination by the Kremlin.

Merkel said during a press conference that this was an assassination attempt and that Moscow would have to provide an explanation for this.

It added that Germany would consult with NATO allies on the nature of the response, which could include imposing sanctions on Russia. 





The German newspaper Der Spiegel claimed that the purpose of the meeting between the two was "to signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that Berlin will not ignore what happened and will act to find out the details of what happened."

Moscow, for its part, has so far denied the affair and Russian President Vladimir Putin has even pointed out to French President Emanuel Macron that Nabalani may have poisoned himself or impersonated a patient. 

Navalny himself responded to the allegations with bitter humor and wrote cynically: 'Good version.

I think it deserves close scrutiny.

I cooked in the Novitchuk kitchen.

Quietly, I sipped it from the water on the plane.

I went into a coma.

Before that, I had agreed with my wife, friends and colleagues that if the Ministry of Health insisted on flying me to Germany, I would in no way agree.

To die in a hospital in Omsk and be in the morgue in the city, where "enough was alive" was determined to be the cause of death - that was the ultimate goal of my unscrupulous plan.

But Putin overshadowed me.

You can not deceive him like that.

Bottom line, I was in a coma for 18 days like some fool, but I didn't get mine.

The provocation failed. "
