The Kremlin has denied using a Soviet-era nerve agent to twice poison Navalny.

After speaking with law enforcement officials for more than two minutes, Navalny is seen going with them peacefully in a clip of the incident tweeted by his lawyer Kira Yarmysh.

The country’s prison service said he was detained for multiple parole violations and terms of a suspended prison sentence.
