"It is a shocking event that Alexei Navalny has become the victim of an attack with a chemical nerve agent in Russia," said Seibert. "The federal government will inform its partners in the EU and NATO of the results of the investigation," Seibert added."It will discuss an appropriate joint response with the partners in the light of the Russian response."
