Anti-corruption activist and fierce critic of the Kremlin, Alexei Navalny, 44, who spent a month in a hospital in Berlin, was the victim at the end of August according to three European laboratories of poisoning with a nerve agent, attributed by his supporters and Westerners to the Russian authorities.

In his video speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, German foreign minister Heiko Maas said that "

such a violation (of the ban on chemical weapons, editor's note), as we have been able to prove with our partners in the case of the poisoning of Alexey Navalny, is a problem for the whole community of states

”and called on Russia“

to do more to clarify this matter

”.

"

It is impossible to have to do with the West

"

"

It seems a provocation that Germany has used this time from the high platform of the UN to repeat these baseless accusations about the so-called use of a toxic military substance against A. Navalny

", reacted Wednesday diplomacy Russian in a statement.

She denounced "

public rantings

" which for Moscow constitute "

the pursuit of an openly hostile anti-Russian line from Berlin

" and once again accused Germany of refusing to cooperate with Russia in this affair.

Given this behavior of Germany and its allies in the EU and NATO (...), it is impossible to have to do with the West until it stops 'use methods of provocation and forgery and don't start behaving in an honest and responsible manner

,' the statement added.

Hospitalized initially in a Siberian city after having fainted on the plane on August 20, Alexeï Navalny was then transferred to the Charité hospital in Berlin where he received a visit from Chancellor Angela Merkel.

He was released from hospital last week and is continuing his recovery in the German capital.

Three European laboratories concluded that it was poisoned with a Novichok-type nerve agent, designed for military purposes in Soviet times, and Western capitals therefore called on Russia to explain and investigate.

Moscow rejects all accusations.
