According to him, this was previously observed in connection with the incident that occurred with the Skripals.

“Today, the same is unfolding before our eyes around the alleged poisoning of Navalny in Russia,” he added.

Earlier, the OPCW announced that it had received a request from Russia for assistance in investigating the situation with Alexei Navalny and was ready to send a group of experts to Russia.
