Romanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu says the poisoning of Russian opponent Alexei Navalny is "totally unacceptable" and condemns that, speaking about the need for a thorough and impartial investigation in this case.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday condemned the "shocking" poisoning of Russian opponent Alexei Navalny with the nerve agent Novichok and called on Russia to conduct a transparent investigation, AFP reports.
The German Government has announced that Alexei Navalny has been the victim of an attack with the nerve agent Novichok. It is shocking and I condemn this without appeal, Stoltenberg said in a statement.
The tests carried out by a German military laboratory found "unequivocal evidence" that the Russian opponent had been poisoned "with a Novichok-type neurotoxic agent." according to the German government.
Novichok, a powerful Soviet-designed neurotoxic agent, was used against former double agent Sergei Skripal in 2018 in the UK. That sparked a diplomatic crisis between London and Moscow.
