Doctors of the Charité University Hospital, in the German capital, Berlin, published a medical report in the specialized scientific journal "The Lancet" about the serious poisoning incident that occurred to the Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny, and Russia denies responsibility for it.

Yesterday, the hospital announced that "a severe case of poisoning was diagnosed with the cholinesterase inhibitor."

In the four-page report, doctors described, for the first time, symptoms caused by the nerve poison from the Novichok group that Moscow developed in the 1980s.

According to the report, Navalny fell into a coma, and his heart rate slowed dramatically, and the temperature dropped to 4.34 degrees, sometimes to 5.33 degrees.

Doctors released this report with Navalny's approval.

A German army laboratory discovered that the substance used to poison Navalny is a banned substance from the Novichok group, which was confirmed by three other laboratories in France, Sweden and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, while Russia described the accusations against it as a political campaign against it.

Navalny held the "killing squad" of the Russian Internal Intelligence Service (FSB), operating under the order of Russian President Vladimir Putin, of responsibility for the attack, and in return, the Kremlin denied and accused Navalny of "paranoia."

Germany holds Russia responsible for the attack, the European Union imposed sanctions on it over the Navalny incident, and Russia responded with counter-sanctions.
