This is stated on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"August 20 marks a year since the emergency hospitalization ... Navalny in Omsk - an incident, erected by the purposeful efforts of a group of Western states to the level of an international incident," the statement says.

The Foreign Ministry emphasizes that the actions of the German authorities, as well as of its allies over the past year, indicate that this incident was a planned provocation against the Russian side.

"The actions taken over the past 12 months by the German authorities and their allies clearly indicate that a planned provocation was carried out against our country, aimed at discrediting the Russian Federation in the eyes of the world community and damaging its national interests," the diplomatic department said ...

In February, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow has reason to believe that the situation with Navalny was a staged one.

Russia's Permanent Representative to the OPCW, Alexander Shulgin, noted that Russia is alarmed by the position of the technical secretariat of the organization, which is silent against the background of the situation with the inconsistency in the report on the situation with Navalny.

He also commented on RT inconsistencies in the OPCW's version of the "poisoning" of Navalny.
