According to the German edition of Der Spiegel, Secretary of State for Defense Gerd Hufe said this at a closed meeting with members of the Bundestag (German parliament).

According to Der Spiegel, the traces of the toxic substance in the samples of skin, blood and urine from Navalny were minimal, but the results of the study of these samples are reliable.
