The German government stated on September 2 that experts from the German Bundeswehr laboratory discovered that Navaline was "poisoned" by Novijok-type agents.

Commenting on the statement of the German government, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out that the Russian side is waiting for a response from Germany to the inquiry raised by the Russian Prosecutor's Office on the situation in Navaline.
Earlier news reported that the Russian ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechaev visited the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 2nd due to new circumstances regarding the Navaline issue.
Since then, the Russian Embassy pointed out that Nechayev was “informed of the contents of the statement of the German Federal Government” and “not conveyed any substantive facts to the ambassador”.
