“Attention is drawn to the position of the technical secretariat, which keeps an artistic pause, as if they had taken water in their mouths.
As we say, it plays in silence.
Does this surprise us?
No, because we have already gone through this with the technical secretariat in the past.
Does this worry us?
Yes, because this whole muddy story with the alleged "poisoning" of Navalny was used by a certain group of countries to unleash a new anti-Russian campaign, "he said.
According to him, we have to state that "the technical secretariat has established and still maintains a thick smoke screen around this case of the so-called poisoning."
Shulgin also said that he would not remember a single such error with dates in the OPCW reports, "all the more fraught with such serious political consequences."
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that from a recent report by the OPCW it follows that "on August 20, Alexei Navalny just flew from Tomsk to Omsk, and the OPCW group had already been sent to provide technical assistance in connection with suspected chemical weapons poisoning."
According to Zakharova, it takes time to prepare an application for technical assistance by the OPCW group.
She also drew attention to the fact that in order to compile it, "Germany should have at least something in her hands in order to draw even the initial conclusions for applying to the OPCW."
Shulgin, in an interview with RT, said that the Russian side asked a question to the technical secretariat of the OPCW, but "they kept silent."
At the same time, the representative of the FRG commission said that, "most likely, the secretariat confused something" and "that there is some kind of misprint or misprint."
Shulgin noted that it is difficult to believe these excuses, since such documents are usually prepared by a team of authors.
