Russia should provide assistance in the investigation of what happened to the opposition politician Alexei Navalny, who is being treated in a Berlin clinic, Reuters reported referring to German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas.

As Maas told ZDF TV, they expect Russia to join the efforts to clarify what happened, but this is not the case at the moment.

According to him, the EU FMs will discuss this today, because it would be easier for Moscow to join the investigation, otherwise, the issue will remain open, and then the EU will have to discuss how to proceed.
