Novichok attack News
A critic of President Vladimir Putin who fell into a coma in Russia and is being treated in Berlin was attacked with a Soviet-style Novichok nerve agent, a German government spokesman said on Wednesday.
Tests conducted at a German military laboratory produced "unequivocal evidence" that Alexei Navalny, Russia`s most prominent opposition figure, had been poisoned with Novichok.
An agent of the same family was used two years ago to poison a Russian defector living in Britain.
Ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia collapsed in Salisbury on March 4 after being exposed to the nerve agent Novichok.
