The Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, is finally discharged from the hospital after being poisoned with a Novichok agent.
The global news outlets continue to kept tabs on Alexei Navalny after being coma for severe poisoning in August. The German government and medical team took care of him, outside of Russia that may have been behind his near-death.
The evidence grew stronger after a sample of Navalny’s bottled water in his hotel room showed it had a Novichok agent in it. The same killer substance was found in his blood and urine, per The New York Times.
Accusations were deeply pressed on the Russian government as the said poisonous agent is a known substance allegedly used by them. As previously reported, this nerve agent is from the same family that was used to attack an ex-Soviet spy in Britain two years ago.
Also, multiple news publications confer that Russia is wildly known for using poison to take out targets via assassination.
The New York Times further reports that Germany believes the Russian government is behind Alexei Navalny’s poisoning. Should it be completely proven, this would result in a “breach of the Chemical Weapons Convention to which Moscow is a signatory.”
The publication cites a French newspaper, Le Monde, reporting about Vladimir Putin‘s conversation with France President Emmanuel Macron. The conversation reportedly entails Putin theorizing that Alexei Navalny may have done this to himself.
The opposition leader gave a sarcastic comment on Putin’s theory. Per Navalny, it’s “a good theory” which is “worth the closest study.”
He was quoted saying:
“I boiled Novichok in the kitchen, quietly took a sip of it in the plane and fell into a coma. Before that, I agreed with my wife, friends and colleagues, that if the Health Ministry insisted on taking me to Germany that they would never permit that to happen. Dying in an Omsk hospital and ending up in an Omsk morgue where the cause of death would be listed as ‘lived long enough’ was the ultimate goal of my cunning plan.
Navalny is not fully out of danger and will reportedly recover further in Germany. The Guardiannotes the statement of the Berlin hospital where the patient stayed in.
Accordingly, Navalny’s condition has “improved sufficiently for him to be discharged from acute inpatient care.” Despite being a worse state of health, the doctors believed that “that complete recovery is possible.”
“There are several funny things going on. For example I can’t throw a ball with my left hand. I can catch it, but not throw it, my brain doesn’t want to make this movement.”
The doctors are yet to determine “the potential long-term effects of his severe poisoning,” citing its “early to gauge.” According to a senior German security official, who requests not to be named, Navalny will be staying “under protection” in Berlin for his rehabilitation.
