“As for how we assess this - as an attempt to really really politicize this issue.
To be honest, it is difficult to give another assessment.
Everything that happens has nothing to do with the desire to find the truth, to understand what happened, to figure it out, ”she said on the air of Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.
Zakharova stressed that the third request was sent to the German side regarding the situation with Navalny.
“We receive only one answer, but, again, through the media.
Not in writing, not in some other way, through the media, ”the diplomat said.
According to Zakharova, the "answers" are that "the request has been received" and "the request is being processed."
“The third form of response is“ there is no reason not to consider the request.
What we are talking about?
And this has been going on for a month already, ”the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman added.
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.
The Kremlin commented on the visit.
