Russia is still waiting for information from German officials on the exact poison detected in comatose opposition leader Alexey Navalny, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, brushing off calls from Berlin for a full explanation of a case that has further strained relations.
“Our doctors have been much more transparent with journalists and all other interested parties than their colleagues in Berlin,” Peskov told a conference call. “We are counting on dialog with our German colleagues and expect in that process to get information on what the substance is.”
