Putin must pay for ‘murder’ of Navalny, say world leaders – Telegraph, Feb 17, 2022
Speaking at the White House, Joe Biden said the Russian president was “responsible” for the death of Mr Navalny, while David Cameron, the Foreign Secretary, said: “Putin’s Russia fabricated charges against him, poisoned him, sent him to an arctic penal colony and now he has tragically died.
“Putin should be accountable for what has happened. No one should doubt the dreadful nature of his regime.”
Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, said Mr Navalny had been “slowly murdered by President Putin and his regime, who fear nothing more than dissent from their own people”.
Mr Biden, who in 2021 promised “devastating” consequences should Mr Navalny die in jail, said he was considering a “whole number of options” in response.
He urged Republican lawmakers to pass a $95 billion dollar aid package for Ukraine that has stalled after its approval in the senate, saying “history is watching.”
Asked whether Mr Navalny’s death would convince Republican leaders to drop their opposition to the bill, he said: “I hope to god it helps.”
Mr Navalny’s wife urged the international community to punish Putin for her husband’s death as she received the news shortly before taking the floor at a conference in Munich.

What an amazing coincidence that Navalny's wife happened to be attending the Munich Security Conference this weekend, giving her a world stage just at the right moment… Wow!

Navalny's wife Yulia at the Munich security conference:
"If it's true, I want Putin, his entourage, Putin's friends and his government to know they will be held responsible for what they have done to our country, my family, and my husband. And that day will come very soon."

🇩🇪🇷🇺🚨‼️ Navalny’s wife like a grieving widow, broke down in tears in Munich?
Nah, she smiled, held a speech and (was) showered in applause.
Let me guess she’s the new opposition leader? The story writes itself.

Lets remind ourselves of a few issues which showed that nothing in the alleged Navalny 'poisoning' case was as it seemed:
Russians With Attitude @RWApodcast – 12:56 UTC · Feb 16, 2024
The most bizarre part of Navalny's story is when he got poisoned and a mysterious British citizen – Maria Pevchikh – appeared out of nowhere. Nobody knew who she was. She collected the water bottles allegedly containing novichok and brought them to Germany. It was revealed that she had been secretly running the investigative department of Navalny's organization all along.
The funny thing is… nobody knew about her before the poisoning happened. And things only got worse from there on for Alexey. Coma, slow recovery, arrest, prison and death.

There are many other details that make the alleged Poisoning of Alexei Navalny a rather curious issue:
On 20 August 2020, Russian opposition figure and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny was poisoned with Novichok nerve agent and was hospitalized in serious condition. During a flight from Tomsk to Moscow, he became ill and was taken to a hospital in Omsk after an emergency landing there, and put in a coma. He was evacuated to the Charité hospital in Berlin, Germany, two days later. The use of the nerve agent was confirmed by five Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) certified laboratories.
Look at that date of the alleged poisoning, August 20 2020, and compare:
DRAFT REPORT OF THE OPCW ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONVENTION ON THE PROHIBITION OF THE DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, STOCKPILING AND USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS AND ON THEIR DESTRUCTION IN 2020
EC-97/CRP.1 – page 10
Technical assistance to a State Party
1.41 At the request of Germany, on 20 August 2020 the Secretariat deployed a team to perform a technical assistance visit (TAV) in relation to the suspected poisoning of a Russian citizen. The TAV was restricted to the collection of biomedical samples. The samples were dispatched to two OPCW designated laboratories. …
So Germany called the OPCW on August 20 for technical assistance in the Navalny case. That was the very same day a still 'healthy' Navalny stepped onto a plane in Tomsk. How did the Germans know what was coming?
Gilbert Doctorow with a reality check:
Death of Aleksei Navalny: the Brits did it!
The invitation today was to speak about breaking news, the reported death in a remote Yamalo-Nenets prison colony of Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalny at age 47. A glance at the latest online edition of The Financial Times confirmed that Navalny had indeed died and set out the comments of leading Western statesmen condemning what they considered to be the latest murder by Vladimir Putin of prominent activists who oppose his rule. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, European Council President Charles Michel and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz were among those who already had spoken before microphones and were reading from the same anti-Putin script.
In short, what happened in the West this afternoon was a new campaign to vilify Vladimir Putin on the world stage based on a death which was, if I may quote former British PM Theresa May, ‘highly likely’ to have been perpetrated by British Intelligence for this very purpose.
In all of the false flag operations that have been directed by the West against Russia over the past decade or more, I have argued that the old Roman investigative principle of cui bono militated against the Kremlin having been involved in any way. So it is today: why would Putin want to murder Navalny, when the man is now largely forgotten within Russia. Navalny is yesterday’s news and his ‘anti-corruption’ campaign is irrelevant to Russians in the midst of an existential struggle with the Collective West that is being fought on the territory of Ukraine? However, the murder of Navalny clearly serves the interests of that same Collective West as an intended antidote to the major Soft Power coup of the Carlson Tucker interview with Vladimir Putin just a week ago and perhaps even more important, to the follow-up Tucker News Briefs showing his visits to the Kievskaya Metro Station and to an Auchan supermarket in downtown Moscow. This was not Gilbert Doctorow publishing his travel notes of visits to St Petersburg markets and reaching 10,000 readers; it was Tucker Carlson, with a regular U.S. audience of 40 million or more for his every broadcast, and a peak of one billion views for the recent interview.
Let us go beyond the cui bono argumentation to circumstantial evidence that is damning for the Brits. As the Americans like to say, there are ‘fingerprints’ of the Brits all over this death of Navalny. …
In any case of a 'poisoned' Russian dissident there are traces back to Britain. Look up Berezovsky, Litvinenko, Skripals, Navalny …
'Rule Britannia' can no longer be done by a capable fleet. Cheap MI-6 propaganda, at times created through high school level chemistry tricks, is the self-aggrandizing replacement for it.
