MOSCOW (Reuters) - An ally of Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny said on Thursday that Navalny would take a long time to recover after being poisoned with a nerve agent last month.
Lyubov Sobol, speaking on Navalny’s YouTube channel, said his supporters now believed he was poisoned in a hotel last month in the city of Tomsk. “I think Navalny was always aware of the danger,” she said.
