DISINFO: No proof that Navalny was poisoned
SUMMARY
We are seeing a very dangerous period of political pressure on Russia… The claims of (Alexei) Navalny getting poisoned is not supported by proof.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative on the poisoning of Alexei Navalny, portraying Western governments and institutions as inherently Russophobic and trying to harm and encircle Russia. Clinical findings at the Charité hospital indicated that Navalny was poisoned with a substance from the group of cholinesterase inhibitors. Subsequent toxicological tests provided unequivocal evidence of a chemical nerve agent of the Novichok group in the blood samples of Alexei Navalny. Moreover, specialist labs in France and Sweden confirmed, in an independent review, that Navalny had been poisoned with Novichok. Read similar cases claiming that the Navalny was not poisoned by novichok and Russian secret services are not involved, or that the Alexei Navalny, originally an anti-Russian project, was poisoned by his sponsors and that the West has an interest in the death of Navalny to launch a new wave of sanctions against Russia.
