Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny was poisoned with a chemical nerve agent from the Novichok group, the German government said Wednesday.
Navalny, who fell ill on a flight from the Siberian city of Tomsk to Moscow last month, is being treated at a Berlin hospital.
In a statement, German government spokesman Steffen Siebert said it was "startling" that "Alexei Navalny was the victim of an attack with a chemical nerve agent in Russia."
"The federal government condemns this attack in the strongest possible terms."
