He said this during a speech at the 95th session of the executive board of the organization.
"Its purpose (the situation with Navalny. -

) is obvious - to try, in the interests of geopolitics, to denigrate Russia with a series of unsubstantiated accusations and thereby create a far-fetched reason for introducing another" tranche "of sanctions against our country," RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to Shulgin, Moscow does not yet see any willingness to cooperate from its Western partners, it all comes down exclusively to "megaphone diplomacy."
Earlier, the OPCW said that its experts confirmed the presence of toxic substances in the samples of urine and blood of Navalny. According to the report, a substance was found in his body, similar in characteristics to Novichok, but not on the list of prohibited chemicals.
