[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] The European Union (EU) has called for an independent and transparent investigation into the alleged assassination attempt on Alexei Navalny.

According to major foreign media on the 26th, Josep Borrell, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, stated in a statement on the 24th, "Preliminary tests conducted at a hospital in Berlin, Germany, revealed that Navalny was poisoned while staying in Siberia."

Navalny, the leader of the Russian opposition, is a prominent adversary of President Vladimir Putin. On the 20th, after drinking tea at an airport cafe, he experienced health issues on the plane and fell into a coma. As suspicions of an assassination attempt grew, Russian medical staff claimed that "no poison was detected," but Western countries have continued to raise concerns about the poisoning attempt.
