Navalny was flown last month to the Charite hospital in Berlin, where doctors said he may have been poisoned with a cholinesterase inhibitor, a substance found in nerve toxins such as the one used in the attempted poisoning of a former Russian double agent in England in 2018.
"Were any substances found in A.A. Navalny's biological specimens from the group of cholinesterase inhibitors? Which ones, exactly?"- What medicines were being used to treat Navalny, and in what doses- What were the results of tests on his heart and respiratory and central nervous systems.
