The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine made a statement regarding the publication by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany of results of toxicological analysis of samples taken from Alexei Navalny.

“The German government found traces of poison from the Novichok group in the body of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. We strongly condemn yet another criminal act by the Russian government, which continues its attacks on democracy and human rights in the Russian Federation and abroad,” the statement reads.

Ukrainian diplomats “are convinced that the international community must respond appropriately to this inhuman reprisal by the Kremlin of an opposition politician.”

“Only a unified decisive position and firm condemnation on the part of the civilized world, including through sanctions, can force Russian authorities to stop committing crimes, grossly violating human rights, and destroying the legal foundations of the world order both in relation to leading opposition politicians and entire states,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry stressed.
