Alexei Navalny, is in Ukraine to see the impact of Moscow’s invasion and to report a true picture back to Russians

Kyiv — Top Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny will remain in prison as long as Vladimir Putin is in power and Russia’s opposition and Ukraine share a “common enemy” in the Russian president, one of Navalny’s top lieutenants said.

Zhdanov delivered a bleak assessment of Navalny’s chances of being released, linking his lengthening jail sentence and new charge to the Russian invasion. Despite the huge stakes of the war in Ukraine and the Kremlin’s spiralling confrontation with the West, Putin looks politically unassailable at home for now. The Kremlin leader, in power since the turn of the century, turns 70 this October.

“There is no court right now, but the sanctions mechanism is a mechanism for accountability,” said Zhdanov, who is now based in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius.Despite his bleak outlook, Zhdanov dismissed as “absolutely untrue” polling figures from March suggesting that 81% of Russians support the actions in Ukraine.

The Kremlin says it is carrying out a “special military operation” in Ukraine to rid it of threats to Russian security. Ukraine and its Western supporters call it an unprovoked war to grab territory.
