Alexei Navalny: Putin critic in 'stable' condition as wife visits him in hospital after suspected poisoning
It’s outrageous that a chemical weapon was used against Alexey Navalny. We have seen first-hand the deadly consequences of Novichok in the UK. The Russian government must now explain what happened to Mr Navalny – we will work with international partners to ensure justice is done.Health Secretary Matt Hancock added that the UK will"stand ready to offer all the support that's available to help Germany, to investigate and take action as necessary".
Mrs Litvinenko added that in her husband's case, the UK was the only country to stand up to Russia, and said the entire international community needs to do so now if Russia is to be held properly accountable. German chancellor Angela Merkel said Mr Navalny's poisoning was attempted murder and called for Russia to carry out an investigation into who poisoned him, while also promising an investigation by the EU and NATO.
