Western nations told Russia to immediately free detained Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny on Monday, a day after he was detained at a Moscow airport after flying home for the first time since he was poisoned last summer.

Russia quickly rejected calls to release him, telling the West to mind its own business as police continued to hold Navalny in a Moscow police station.

Navalny’s case could trigger new sanctions against Russia, especially against an $11.6 billion project to build a natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, with some EU countries saying they want the bloc to swiftly impose such measures. Russia’s prison service said he had been taken into custody due to alleged violations of a suspended prison sentence that Navalny, 44, says was trumped up.

The foreign ministers of Germany, Britain, France and Italy called for Navalny’s release. Lithuania said on Sunday it would ask the EU to swiftly impose new sanctions on Russia. Czech Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek said he wanted the bloc to discuss possible sanctions.

'sanctions (...) against an $11.6 billion project to build a natural gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, with some EU countries saying they want the bloc to swiftly impose such measures.' [sic] I defy Reuters to mention 1 single EU country wishing to 'sanction' the gas pipeline

Well, think about the opposite situation. Anyway Navalny was well warned in advance and he had plenty of time to go back without risking to be arrested.

Completely authoritarian, corrupt, thug-led country. Exactly what Rump pined for. If he had been re=elected, I dare say there would be newspaper headlines about people falling from windows. Navalny never should have returned. This is not going to end well. Putin will have his way

West is delusional! 🤣🤣 think people are stupid.

You know who’s not going to put up with any of Putin’s shit? Joe Biden.

good luck
