Alexei Navalny and his wife Yuliastand in line at the passport control after arriving at Sheremetyevo airport, outside Moscow, Russia, Sunday, Jan. 17, 2021. Russia's prison service says opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been detained at a Moscow airport after returning from Germany.

Navalny’s arrest adds another layer of tension to relations between Moscow and the West that have long been strained and were worsened by his poisoning.German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas noted that Navalny had returned of his own volition and said “it is completely incomprehensible that he was detained by Russian authorities immediately after his arrival.”

“I express my solidarity with all Russian people who share the ideals of the detained Russian opposition leader,” Rau added. “Alexey, don’t give up!” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday the stream of reactions to Navalny’s arrest by Western officials reflects an attempt “to divert attention from the crisis of the Western model of development.”

Labs in Germany, France and Sweden, and tests by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, established that he was exposed to a Soviet-era Novichok nerve agent.

I appreciate what he’s trying to do but no longer feel sorry for him. He will be killed for sure this time.

Why would he even return back to that country! I don’t think we will see him again after the 30 days in prison. I hope I’m wrong

This is what the left wants to do to its opposition. So I don't know why its a big deal, no difference with the communist in the US.

He violated Russia’s terms of service and had his account suspended

Navalny is a US agent

very brave

It would be nice 👍 if we could see the truth in what is at the presented . What is Putin really doing and Why ? What is Navalny really doing and why ? We know that terrible forces work better in Chaos making money at the expense of the innocents. Who’s pulling the strings ?

_Europe No worries, Merkel will do nothing and her successor seems to be same Russian/Chinese friend without balls welcoming illegal migrants, so we can start our bets what's next Russian destination after Crimea.

except for the US, because GOP is totally cool with this kind of activity

trump gonna try to give putin a pardon

Nerve agent made in Porton Down laboratory.

During 4 years Russia had the US government in its pockets. You think they care if Western nations are upset by the arrest of Navalny?

Parole violations, he's was warned, all better he couldn't stay indefinitely in Germany, there's isn't country who have done it differently.

The west: 'How dare you arrest our puppet!!!!?'

I’m sure putin give a shit about criticism.
