Anatoliy Kalinichenko is heard saying to journalists: "Until the patient is discharged from the hospital, there are always some threats."

In response to a question about medical tests, he says: "Even if there is, I cannot tell you.

"I also want to say that his treatment and diagnostics are under the control of our local Ministry of Health.

"If necessary, we can always use the help of federal specialists."
