MOSCOW, Aug 1 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Monday that it was saddened by the reported hospitalisation of Anatoly Chubais, a former special envoy who quit due to the conflict in Ukraine, and wished him a speedy recovery.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Russia stands ready to assist the ex-presidential adviser, if he appeals for help.
Chubais, the former privatisation tsar of post-Soviet Russia, is in intensive care in Europe with a rare immune disorder, two sources close to him told Reuters. (Reporting by Reuters)
