The Brave Man Whom Putin Wants to Kill

Aleksei Navalny, Russia’s leading dissident and opposition leader…Poisoned, imprisoned, brutalized, Navalny stands unbroken in his cell: still mocking Putin and scathing in his denunciation of the invasion of Ukraine.

He is a Kremlin nightmare. Navalny ran for president until he was blocked, and his exposés about a supposed $1 billion Putin pleasure palace infuriated the Russian leader

Opinion Putin on trial? It’s not as far-fetched as you might think.

Macron calls out Russia for work with ‘neo-mafia’ Wagner group

French president says Moscow and Europe must find ‘imperfect balance’ in long run.

The Wagner Group has since provided military services supporting Russia’s war effort.

It means Moscow “formalized the fact that Wagner was an explicit, direct, diplomatic-military, neo-mafia medium of Russia around the world,” Macron said.

This is obscene: #Stalinist #Mass #Murderer

“We share the same views on the causes, course and logic of the ongoing transformation of the global geopolitical landscape,”

“In the face of unprecedented pressure and provocations from the West, we defend our principled positions and defend not only our own interests, but also all those who stand for a truly democratic system and the right of countries to freely determine their own destiny.”
