Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is being treated at a hospital in Berlin, Germany, after losing consciousness on a domestic flight in Russia last month.
Alexei Navalny is said to have been able to speak again while recovering from suspected Novichok neurotoxine poisoning.
German newspaper Der Spiegel said that the police protection of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has also been increased as more visitors are expected as his condition improves.
" Der Spiegel and Bellingcat know Navalny can say it again and remember the details of the stroke. His statements could endanger those behind the attack," the German magazine said.
Meanwhile, spokeswoman for Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny - Ms. Kira Yarmysh - said that, regarding the Spiegel news, "the story is exaggerated and has many points that are not accurate in reality".
Charite Hospital - which treated the Russian opposition leader and the Berlin police spokesman, also did not comment.
Earlier this week, a hospital treating the Russian opposition leader informed Alexei Navalny that he had regained consciousness after two weeks of coma and had responded to loiverbal stimulus.
