“We need support from Germany, because without concrete evidence, about which a lot is said but little is provided, we can currently do little ... We still lack the willingness to cooperate on the German side,” the Sächsische Zeitung quotes him.

Nechaev also stressed that Russia does not accept ultimatums and threats of sanctions in connection with this situation.

“I regret the anti-Russian hysteria artificially inflamed in this context,” he added.

Earlier, the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, said that one of the main targets of the West's campaign on the situation with Alexei Navalny was Nord Stream 2.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, in turn, said about the difficulties in investigating the situation with Navalny.

On September 14, the General Prosecutor's Office of Russia submitted to the competent judicial authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany an additional request for legal assistance based on the materials of the check carried out on the fact of Navalny's hospitalization.

The German Foreign Ministry said that the request is being processed.
