The poisoning of Alexei Navalny will be discussed at an urgent NATO meeting on Friday after European leaders threatened fresh sanctions against Moscow, which has furiously denied targeting the Russian opposition leader. The 44-year-old lawyer, one of President Vladimir Putin's chief critics, fell ill on a flight last month and was evacuated to Germany for treatment. Western leaders have demanded answers from the Kremlin after Berlin said there was "unequivocal evidence" that he had been afflicted by the infamous Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok. The same substance was used against Russian ex-double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the English town of Salisbury two years ago, and Germany's claim prompted widespread condemnation. Germany will brief a special meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization at 12:30pm Brussels time (1030 GMT), with the alliance's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to hold a press conference after it concludes.
Already suffering from wide-ranging Western sanctions imposed over its 2014 annexation of Crimea, as well as the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and the drop in oil prices, Moscow will be anxious to avoid any further pressure on its economy. Germany's announcement sent the ruble plunging to its lowest level against the euro since 2016 and Moscow's RTS stock exchange fell more than three percent. "Russia's relations with the West have once again been poisoned by Novichok," wrote business daily Kommersant. "The main question is, how far will they decide to go?" it said.

Why would anyone want that ****hole?
:lamo :lamo
It's on page 1 of your induction manual. $$$$$
Moscow can't even properly afford Russia. Why would anyone else take on such a money sinkhole?
Ask your people not me.
NATO called on Russia to punish those responsible for the incident with Navalny.
Are they sure they need this? For Russia to punish someone in Germany, in Britain, in Poland?
Stoltenberg on the incident with Navalny:
"NATO allies agree that Russia now has serious questions."
And there is only one question for NATO: what is Navalny's rank? According to the Western classification? Or is he a NATO civilian personnel? Since the Alliance considers it their business...
But what relevance is this to NATO?
You brought it up. Anything to deflect from the Navalny assassination.
Probably it is not just concern about North Stream 2, all this crap with Navalny could be attampt to distract the world from the pedophile scandal involving prominent politicians in the "democratic" West. I wouldn't be surprised at these degenerates.
You made too many mistakes in spelling the word "Ukraine". Rating F... Russia. Why would anyone else take on such a money sinkhole?

:roll:
I'd say Mr. Stalin has no problem when the Putin regime poisons a Russian activist with a banned nerve agent.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on Russia to hand over all data on the Novichok program to the OPCW. The fact is that Russia destroyed chemical weapons and the OPCW confirmed it...
