Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to E.U. foreign policy chief Josep Borrell’s request for an international investigation into Alexey Navalny’s death, saying that Moscow doesn’t accept “such demands,” reports Russian state news agency RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Borrell asked Russia to allow “an independent and transparent international investigation” into Navalny’s death.
