Can Navalny talk now?

Police protection for Navalny has been stepped up in anticipation of receiving more visitors as its condition improves in the German capital, according to Der Spiegel magazine."Der Spiegel and Bellingcat understand that Navalny can talk again and probably remember details of his collapse," wrote the publication, giving credit to his investigative partner on the site."His statements could be dangerous to the people behind the attack."There were no immediate comments from the hospital that treated him and a Berlin police spokesman made no comments. Navalny's spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, twisted that "the story is exaggerated and contains many factual inaccuracies" in apparent reference to Spiegel's article.
