​​​​​​​Germany threatens Russia by imposing sanctions over Navalny poisoning

Heiko Maas told Bild newspaper, "Sending warnings does not help anyone, but in the next few days, if the Russian side does not contribute to clarifying what happened, we will have to discuss the response with our partners," noting that if sanctions are decided to be imposed, they must be "Specific" goals.

And the Charité Hospital in Berlin announced, earlier, that Navalny had been poisoned with a substance from an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor group.

The German government confirmed that the Russian opposition leader was poisoned with the nerve gas, "Novichok".

The German government indicated that the tests conducted on Navalny showed "unequivocal evidence" of the presence of the toxic chemical.

Meanwhile, the Russian Presidential Press Spokesman (Kremlin) Dmitry Peskov described the accusations reported of the Russian authority’s involvement in the poisoning of Navalny, as incorrect and should not be taken seriously.

The Russian dissident was transferred to Berlin for treatment, after feeling sick during a flight in Siberia last month, where he fell into a coma that has continued until now.
