Berlin Hospital Says Navalny Taken Out Of Coma, Is Responsive

The German hospital treating Aleksei Navalny says the Russian opposition leader’s condition "has improved" and he is "responding to verbal stimuli." Berlin’s Charite hospital said in a statement on September 7 that the 44-year-old has been "removed from his medically induced coma" and "is being weaned off mechanical ventilation." However, the hospital also said that it remains "too early to gauge the potential long-term effects of his severe poisoning." Navalny, an anti-corruption campaigner who has led nationwide protests against Russian President Vladimir Putin, was flown to Germany on August 22, two days after falling ill on a flight in Siberia. German experts say tests show that he was poisoned with a Soviet-style military-grade nerve agent from the Novichok group, prompting the European Union, Germany, the United States, and other countries to demand that Russia investigate the case. Britain's Foreign Minister Dominic Raab on September 7 said he had summoned Russia's ambassador to London to "register deep concern about the poisoning." "It's completely unacceptable that a banned chemical weapon has been used and Russia must hold a full, transparent investigation," Raab tweeted.

Russian authorities have refused to open a criminal investigation, saying that no hard evidence of poisoning has been found. Germany has signaled that Berlin would push for new sanctions against Russia if Moscow fails to explain the poisoning of the Kremlin foe, including a possible shift in German policy regarding the nearly complete Baltic Sea pipeline known as Nord Stream 2, which would bring gas from Russia to Germany. Merkel has been under pressure from the United States and other Western countries to scrap the plan. Sobol believes the Kremlin would want to poison Navalny because of his Smart Voting campaign that supports independent and opposition candidates in municipal elections later in September. She added that a wave of instability sparked by protests stretching from Belarus, on Russia's western border, to the Far Eastern region of the Khabarovsk Krai, have also unsettled Russia's leadership.

Some good news. However, it will take time to discern any long-term lasting effects of the Novichok nerve agent that poisoned Mr. Navalny.

Putin made his statement. Now the guy runs scared for decades.
 
It is not "the german hospital". Its the best german hospital and absolute world class. Wonder who pays for this idiots treatment.

It's certainly not the concern of a fascist.

My reading indicates that Novichok, or at least some versions of it, have long term health complications post exposure even after receiving an antidote....so much so that death can occur even years after contact with the agent.
 
It is my concern when its paid by my tax money.

A collection of four teaching campuses in Berlin, Charité is funded by tuition from 8,000+ students, 179 million Euros in third-party funding, and 222 million Euros in subsidies for teaching and research.

Yes. And with all the Soviet R&D material on Novichok, Russian chemists can create a custom cocktail.
 
The equipment in the Omsk hospital, which was used for Navalny's trsts, was manufactured in the United States. This is an expert-class technique.

This was reported by the chief toxicologist of the Omsk region.

Very inconvenient information...

Folks reading ... this is classic Russian disinformation.

As if this individual was ever even in Omsk, much less a hospital in Omsk.
 
Die Zeit: In Berlin, it is believed that Navalny survived thanks to the quick reaction of the plane's pilots and the help of Omsk doctors.

This a little does not fit into the picture of a cruel and dastardly regime... Therefore, we will not pay attention to this and all other arguments of reason.
 
:roll: More asinine meandering from our Russian propagandist.
