BBC News published this video item, entitled “Russian agent ‘tricked into detailing Navalny assassination bid’ – BBC News” – below is their description.
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny duped a Russian FSB state agent into revealing details of an attack on him with the nerve agent Novichok, the investigative group Bellingcat reports.
Mr Navalny reportedly impersonated a security official to call the agent.
The agent, Konstantin Kudryavtsev, told him the Novichok had been placed in a pair of Mr Navalny’s underpants.
Mr Navalny, who is still recovering in Berlin, posted a recording of the long conversation on his YouTube channel.
He collapsed on board a Russian airliner in August in the attack, which nearly proved fatal.
