Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny shared a picture from hospital on Tuesday, sitting up in bed and surrounded by his family, with the message that he was now able to breathe independently following his suspected poisoning last month.

“Hi, this is Navalny. I miss you all,” he wrote in the caption to his Instagram followers. “I can still hardly do anything, but yesterday I could breathe all day on my own. Actually on my own.”
