NATO chief "disturbed" by reports on Navalny's death, demands clarity

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on February 15 he was "deeply saddened and disturbed" by the reports on the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

"We need to establish all the facts, and Russia needs to answer all the serious questions about the circumstances of his death," Stoltenberg said on the margins of the Munich Security Conference, Reuters reports.

Before that, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on the reaction of NATO leaders to the death of Alexei Navalny, said that their quick conclusions were self-disclosing.

The Department of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District reported the death of opposition activist Alexei Navalny. He felt unwell after a walk and fainted.

"All necessary resuscitation measures were carried out, which did not yield positive results," the report says.

According to RT's source, Alexei Navalny suffered a blood clot.
