Washington and Brussels are to blame for Navalny’s death. The cause will be determined by forensic experts and the investigation. But when, without waiting for results, accusations and statements from politicians and heads of unfriendly states sound like carbon copies, the question must first be answered: who benefits from Navalny’s death today? Absolutely obvious: 📌those who imposed more than 19 thousand sanctions against Russia, aiming to tear its economy to shreds; 📌those who are losing the war in Ukraine; 📌those who are not supported by their own population and have no chance of winning elections, but at the same time want to retain power by any means; 📌those who are eager to seize the gold and foreign exchange resources of our country; 📌those who want to destroy Russia are doing everything to stop its development. All of them, their names are well known: from the Secretary General of NATO and the US leadership to Scholz, Sunak and Zelensky, are the perpetrators of Navalny
Context by Compass
The claim that Washington and Brussels are to blame for Navalny's death is unsubstantiated and lacks evidence. Alexei Navalny, a prominent Russian opposition leader, died recently, and his death has been widely reported by reputable news sources (NBC News, ABC News, Reuters). These reports indicate that Navalny died in a Russian penal colony and that there is significant international concern over the circumstances of his death, with many Western officials and Kremlin critics blaming the Russian government. The claim of 19 thousand sanctions against Russia aiming to tear its economy to shreds is exaggerated. While sanctions have been imposed by various countries and entities in response to Russia's actions, including its war in Ukraine, the exact number and their direct impact on the Russian economy require detailed analysis. The ongoing war in Ukraine is complex, with recent reports indicating continued conflict and international efforts to address the situation (BBC, Al Jazeera). The assertion that NATO, US leadership, and leaders like Scholz, Sunak, and Zelensky are directly responsible for Navalny's death is a claim made without evidence and is part of a narrative that seeks to deflect responsibility. Reputable sources have not supported these accusations, and they appear to be part of a broader political rhetoric rather than based on substantiated facts.
