EU calls on Moscow to let Alexei Navalny get medical treatment in Germany

The European Union (EU) has called on Moscow to let Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny get medical treatment in Germany, as well as a probe into his suspected poisoning, said a Commission spokeswoman.

Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny is in critical condition in Omsk hospital. Members of his team say the politician was poisoned.

Navalny’s wife Yulia Navalnaya has published a letter urging Vladimir Putin to allow him to leave the country. “Alexei Navalny needs qualified medical care in Germany,” she wrote.

The letter was published on Navalny’s Twitter account.
