Russian opposition leader able to breathe on his own, leave hospital bed after poisoning
Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader hospitalized earlier this year after an alleged assassination attempt, has reportedly seen his condition improve to the point where he is able to briefly leave his hospital bed under his own strength.
Doctors at the German hospital where Navalny is recuperating said Monday that he is continuing to regain his strength, according to The Associated Press, while German authorities reportedly confirmed that Navalny had been poisoned with Novichok, a Soviet-era nerve agent used previously in an attempted assassination of an ex-Russian spy in the U.K.
Navalny has "successfully been removed from mechanical ventilation," doctors reportedly said.
European leaders have pressured Russian Presdient Vladimir Putin to answer for the poisoning in recent days; Navalny is an active critic of Putin's administration and corruption in Moscow.
