‘Navalny wants to return to Russia’ | Abroad

The 44-year-old opposition leader has spoken with the prosecutor about the attack and his plans for the period after his recovery. Navalny would have been “mentally sharp,” according to the NYT. “He does not intend to go into exile in Germany,” said the German security source who spoke to the newspaper. “He wants to return to Russia to continue his mission.”

Navalny is being treated in the Charité hospital in Berlin for the consequences of a novistjok nerve poison. A German laboratory previously established that this is the case. That was confirmed on Monday by a French and a Swedish laboratory.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s leading critic was kept in an artificial coma until last week. On Monday it was announced that Navalny’s condition has improved to such an extent that he can now get out of bed for short periods.

In August, Alexei Navalny was hospitalized in a critical condition in Omsk, Russia. He had suddenly become very ill on a domestic flight. People from Navalny’s area already claimed that the opposition leader had been poisoned. At the urging of his family, friends and Western leaders, Navalny was taken to Germany for treatment by ambulance flight.
