A senior European Union official told Russian President Vladimir Putin by telephone on Friday to release opposition politician Alexei Navalny and demanded an investigation into the Kremlin critic's poisoning last August.

Navalny was detained in Russia on Sunday after flying home from Germany for the first time since being poisoned with what tests conducted at a German military laboratory showed was a military-grade nerve agent. “Russia must urgently proceed with full and transparent investigation into the assassination attempt on him.”

“The president of the European Council informed President Putin of the grave concern in the EU and its member states over recent developments,” Michel’s office said in an official EU statement, referring to Navalny.

to eucopresident stop meddling! Where is the verification ? Who is the Crook, Fruadster and Foreign agent paid for by cia and Khodorkovski

He should have called Britain to release Assange far more important person than a right wing racist charlatan..

I'm sure Vladimir was left shaking in his boots and after he recovered a bit, he personally went to wherever they hold Navalny, to free and guide him out 🤣

Stop the pipeline, either way. As an International Soldier for Democracy, Putin doesn't deserve a narrative.

- Hello Vladimir? - Oh hello Charles - I think you should release Navalny - No - Come on, I think that... - Nope - Well, goodbye then - Bye

Right. Well, good luck. They don’t tend to listen to demands?

'Please leave a message after the beep.'

🤣 this is a hilarious thing to do. Is it like when they told him he can't annex another country's territory? How did that workout for them?
