The Kremlin commented on the visit of Merkel to Navalny in the "Charite"

“Of course they did,” he told RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the official representative of the Cabinet of Ministers of Germany, Steffen Seibert, confirmed reports that Merkel visited Navalny during his stay in a medical facility.

At the same time, he stressed that this is not a "secret" meeting, as Der Spiegel wrote, but a private visit.
