The decision to transfer the Navalny was made by the commission of doctors of Medical and Sanitary Unit No. 33 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia (FSIN). The hospital for convicts is located on the territory of Correctional Colony No. 3 in the Vladimir region of Russia.

"The United States has announced to the whole world that Navalny's days were numbered. They have already issued him a ticket to the nether world, just to spite Russia," the official said.
