well this news comes through as alexina vile need given his 1st t.v. interview or at least an online interview in which he firmly pointed the finger of blame at the kremlin for his poisoning he also said that his lawyers have been instructed and are currently going to the united nations to get them to investigate the illness that befell him now as far as reaction from moscow to this comes to me to the best of the kremlin spokes person a says said as it stands they have nothing to say on this because they haven't seen that information they haven't seen this report that was sent from the o.p.c. w. to berlin earlier though we had heard from sergey lavrov the russian foreign minister he was reacting to cole's 4 calls on russia from international partners to investigate what happened this is despite russian making 3 requests to berlin to share the data that they had a 4th request is now being made because those previous 3 fell and beth is. going to do so in the form of course we're interested in establishing the truth about what happened with alexina volley

go back to the interview and the shriek alexina violently says the russian made attempts to keep him in the country once he was in hospital in siberia. i think they were determined not to let me out of the country which is why they publicly stated that i was not fit for transport they waited for me to die in my eyes the chief medical cost bittle is worse than the intelligence officers who kill people for them killing is at least their job. well those claims have been rubbished by the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov who said that alexei navalny was alive thanks to the quick thinking professionalism of the pilot that made the emergency landing his flight was on route from tomsk in siberia to moscow it made in the mergence landing and all the power medics who 1st arrived on the scene and the doctors who provided him medical treatment that it was down to those people that he was alive in the 1st place. they were supposed to choose so the impeccable work for pilots doctors and paramedics is presented as a lucky coincidence they don't even admit that we acted in a proper way the wes

russia must continue to explain itself over the attack on alexina valmy and the use of a banned chemical warfare agent much more than has been the case so far and we've repeatedly emphasized that such behavior cannot remain without consequences and therefore sanctions were decided by the e.u. unanimously and very quickly. russia denies the allegations that have been made against it moscow sent for official requests to berlin for germany to share the information the evidence that germany says it has of the poisoning of alexei navalny russian needs that information they say in order to carry out an investigation the russian foreign minister has encouraged his european partners to observe well the set standard of international law he will also use the easier produce of the novotny case is totally unacceptable 5 e.u. countries claim they have established the truth but when we request them to provide evidence of their conclusions they say this is outrageous so let me be clear what we want is for the e.u. in germany to abide by international law there are the conventions on cooperation in crim
