BERLIN Aleksei A. Navalny, the Russian opposition leader who is recovering from being poisoned, has spoken to a German prosecutor about the attempt on his life and says he plans to return to Russia as soon as he has recovered, a senior German security official said on Monday.
Mr. Navalny had been in a medically induced coma at the Charité hospital in Berlin and it was not clear what condition he would be in once he regained consciousness. But the security official, who was briefed on his condition, said Mr. Navalny seemed mentally sharp.
Hes fully aware of his condition, hes fully aware of what happened and hes fully aware of where he is, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity to talk candidly about the case.
The news came hours after the German government announced that laboratories in France and Sweden had confirmed that the substance used to poison Mr. Navalny was a form of the nerve agent Novichok, results that match Berlins own findings and provide additional confidence that the Russian state was involved.

Seize every bank account, stop all Russian sales of oil, kick out every Russian diplomat, & refuse to talk to them until pUtin comes begging to us.
WE ARE THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! Lets restore our supremacy!
