Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny released from hospital after suspected nerve agent poisoning

Navalny spent 32 days in treatment in Berlin's Charite hospital, 24 of which were in intensive care, before doctors deemed his “condition had improved sufficiently for him to be discharged from acute inpatient care.”

German chemical weapons experts have determined he was poisoned with the Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok - findings corroborated by labs in France and Sweden. In his post Tuesday night accompanied by a close-up photo, he laughed off reports that Putin suggested to French President Emmanuel Macron in a call that he might have “swallowed the poison himself.”“Cooked Novichok in the kitchen. Took a sip from a flask on the plane. Fell into a coma.”

The nerve agent used in the attack was the same class of Soviet-era agent that Britain said was used on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury, England, in 2018, and Chancellor Angela Merkel and other world leaders have called for Russia to fully investigate. Germany has noted that Navalny was in Russian treatment for 48 hours, and that Russia has its own data.
