US is Monitoring Events Related to Russian Politician Navalny, Says Trump

The United States is monitoring the developments surrounding Russian politician Alexei Navalny, said US President Donald Trump.

Trump, speaking at an event held at the White House, stated that US officials are closely following the situation.

Earlier, the plane carrying Navalny from Tomsk to Moscow made an emergency landing in Omsk due to the opposition figure feeling unwell. He has been hospitalized at Emergency Hospital No. 1, and regional health ministry officials report that the patient is in the intensive care unit. Kira Yarmysh, the press secretary of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, previously suggested that Navalny may have suffered from toxic poisoning. According to her, the blogger is in a coma.
