Russian Embassy in Washington: Statements about Navalny poisoning  baseless

Blogger Aleksey Navalny had previously claimed that he was poisoned and that only elements of the Russian Federal Security Service or the foreign intelligence service were able to poison him and Germany participated in these allegations, while Russia has repeatedly stressed that the Navalny case is just a pretext for imposing sanctions on it and that it was prepared long ago.

Allegations of the US Department of State about poisoning of blogger Aleksey Navalny are baseless and the criminal case against him is not politically motivated, the Russian Embassy in Washington said in a comment posted in its Telegram channel.

“We drew attention to another round of accusations of the State Department related to the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Russian special services against Navalny. The statements about the poisoning of the “blogger” are absolutely baseless. The criminal case against him is not politically motivated. He is serving his sentence on the basis of a court decision taken in accordance with Russian law,” TASS news agency quoted the Russian embassy as saying.
