The United States expressed concern about the possible poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. If this fact is confirmed, then this may affect relations between the United States and Russia, said Robert O’Brien, adviser to the American president for national security.
“We are going to take this into account when determining how we will deal with Russians in the future,” he said on Fox News.
The adviser also called the Russian politician “a very courageous person” and said that “our thoughts and our prayers are with him and his family.”
Recall that on August 20, Navalny became ill on the flight from Tomsk to Moscow. The plane urgently landed at the Omsk airport. The oppositionist was taken to the Omsk hospital, he is in a coma on a ventilator.
