NATO: Russia Must Answer Serious Questions About Navalny

Charles Maynes

   MOSCOW - After an urgent meeting of NATO ambassadors on Friday to
   discuss the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the
   allies said Russia must fully cooperate in an impartial investigation
   under the supervision of the Organization for the Prohibition of
   Chemical Weapons.

   Speaking to reporters after the meeting in Brussels, NATO
   Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said, "Any use of chemical weapons
   shows a total disrespect for human lives and is an unacceptable breach
   of international norms and rules."
