MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Saturday it had noticed multiple hostile statements directed at Russia on the topic of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny's health, after Germany said he had been poisoned with the Novichok nerve agent.

"In relation to these presumptuous comments that... (Novichok) was developed here, it is imperative to say the following," the ministry wrote in statement.
