did he pose to the kremlin? did he pose to an election if you want to call it that of vladimir putin >> you know, i don't think that alec saying about what was going to stop putin from being re-elected. i mean, there's no question. proofing is going to be reelected. but what he did it was with that message about corruption and the rich rulers and what they were doing. >> i, >> again, i think he got to the people of russia who see this in their daily lives. and so it's very hard to gauge that people right now cannot go into the streets. they can't go on on social media. they cannot do anything to overtly oppose the kremlin. but beneath the surface, they can, people can believe that the kremlin is corrupt. they can support another way, another candidate but there's no, as nina put, it, says stomach, there's no organized opposition that doesn't mean there isn't opposition and you know, on that point about whether the kremlin killed him or not this is going to be debating. i just noticed that the spokesperson for th

ifear it probably of the kremlin? i fear it probably was. already tried to kill alexei navalny, that he collapsed when he was campaigning in southern russia. you remember the scenes of him being reeled off a plane and then flown to germany were miraculously recovered. this was a plot according to ballon caps carried out by the fsb, that vladimir putin just ahead before carried out by the fsb, that vladimir putinjust ahead before he became president and prime minister. it is clear he had powerful enemies and the state to try to kill them before. it was interesting was there was a terrible personal choice for mr navalny after he was poisoned whether he would stay in exile and become a critic based in europe or based in the us or return. he flew back to moscow, was immediately arrested, thenjailed back to moscow, was immediately arrested, then jailed with criminal cases piled upon him one on top of the other. if from that point it was clear that he would never get out of prison as long as vladimir putin was the leader of russia. what was terrib

that is coming from the kremlin. he wasjust navalny�*s death. that is coming from the kremlin.as such an important figure. yes. we have to remember that even mr navalny�*s name was sort of taboo for president putin and his key officials. they would hardly ever out of it preferring to mr navalny as that gentleman or that politician, which gives us an idea of the tensions between the two camps, and also it tells us that there is a certain logic, a certain grim logic to what is happening in russia ever since mr navalny was put in jail back russia ever since mr navalny was put injail back in 2021. further restrictions have been put in russia targeting freedom of reporting, freedom of assembly. russia is holding presidential elections in march, but as we see most of president putin's fiercest, most effective opponents are either in jail, in exile or dead.— jail, in exile or dead. vitaly, thank you — jail, in exile or dead. vitaly, thank you for _ jail, in exile or dead. vitaly, thank you for that _ jail, in exile or dead. vitaly, i thank you for that information. jail, in exile or d

it's certainly the kremlin showing that no more opposition will be tolerated in the country. there seems to have been some differing ahead of the elections about whether perhaps an anti war candidate could be on the bat ballot buddies and ideas and almost was registered on a candidate then wasn't. it seems that the kremlin has now decided that no opposition will be tolerated, that no anti war opinions can be tolerated any more. and i think that, you know, is a signal also to any critical voices who have remained within russia, that there could be another crack down call me leave it there for the time being. emily 7, thanks very much for coming into the studio for that election of ali was the most prominent russian not position figure out. here's a closer look at his life and resistance to pull trans flush out. it didn't take long for a next a nobel need to become brushes, leading opposition, figure out which is high profile. i'm good. the state, the former lawyer was regularly arrested and jail for his anti corruption campaigns . he also facing numerous criminal, proves inclu

the kremlin was unprepared for such a scenario.the federal parliament , russian propagandists began an information campaign campaign, they say, ukraine will freeze, followed by europe. already in september 2014 , gas from slovakia began to flow into ukraine in the reverse direction. in 2017, the stockholm court ruled in favor of ukraine on all counts. disputed issues under the gas contract, in particular , canceled the binding condition of take or pay. this is a humiliating fiasco not only for gazprom, but also for the russian government. in general. to me, one of the key, i think, important things is the oil and gas reform. that is, it was, you remember, klaaka, she constantly devoured money. accordingly, what was done then, the govt. did, it's incredible, they were able to turn naftogaz into a profitable company from a loss-making one that was constantly devouring, moreover, negotiations with russia are necessary. had for oil and gas and for oil and gas during the war, after their aggression and temporary occupation, and the gove

most people pointed the finger towards the kremlin. remember, they've been previous kremlin critics alexander litvinenko in the united kingdom, poison by a rare radioactive agents nearly two decades ago. now. and so many think, thought perhaps this was likely the work of putin's intelligence or security services returned to russia in a bid to try and maintain the voice he had as an opposition figure. and immediately arrested, but still able to communicate with the outside world through social media. once inside prison, and a coterie of close advisers, loved ones outside and being sure that that message could consistently be heard. and then as his prison term continued, that clearly spelt to perhaps have been by the russian authorities, not an adequately strict terms for him. so he was moved to this arctic circle colony number three in the next region. and that tough conditions all by themselves. but i presume tougher if you are essentially the leading opponents publicly to vladimir putin. and now these horrifying reports day that are,

they knew of course, alexey navalny has been for a long time a target of the kremlin. he's been poisoned. he's been imprisoned. he's been moved thousands of kilometers away from where his family are staying and from the capital to that distance a work camp but i don't think anybody truly thought that he would be seriously killed or he would die whilst whilst in custody. and so it has come as a shock to many of the russians who i've spoken to. you have to remember as well, theresa that the debt of alexey navalny, if it if it's confirmed as it looks like it will be, comes just a few weeks before the presidential election inside russia, it's not much of a competitive procedure. it's more of sort of an opportunity to renew vladimir putin's presidency for a fifth time but already, opposition figures in russia and those in exile outside of russia are suggesting that one way for this death to be protested against is warning russians to go into the polling booths when it comes to the middle of march and the election day. and to write alexey navalny's name on the ballot paper t

for years, alexei navalny was a thorn in the side of the kremlin.started out as an anti—corruption blogger. but he shot to prominence in 2011, during protests over parliamentary elections tainted by allegations of fraud. the demonstrations were the largest russia had seen for years. navalny was arrested, suddenly emerging as a significant opposition figure. his charismatic presence on the streets soon made him a regular target of the authorities. alexei navalny was a strong nationalist, but also a fierce critic of russia's powerful elites. he developed a huge following on social media, publishing regular investigations into high—level corruption. his popular youtube channel, with its slick videos, was full of allegations against prominent figures. translation: what we're seeing now is that the internet _ is the number—one concern for the current regime, and its number—one enemy, too. his revelations led to official harassment, his offices searched, he and his staff detained. in 2017, he was attacked with green dye, causing damage to his right eye. c

kremlin are spending historic amounts on the war in ukraine.jet fuel and diesel through the refining loophole in 2023 alone was worth at least £100 million to the kremlin in direct tax revenues. that is not the value of the oil itself, that is just the tax the kremlin takes on the oil exports. that is equivalent of 5.2 million barrels that the uk imported. it underlines how complicated global supply chains are and how lacking in transparency, i guess, in some respects. it is very difficult to work out and follow the route of where the stuff comes from and ends up. absolutely, but there is an easy solution to this problem. to close the refining loophole and strengthen our oil sanctions. the us is already ahead on this. the uk can ban imports from refineries that are importing russian crude. we have been able to trace these refineries and there are only a handful of them in india and turkey that are importing these huge volumes of russian oil. over in the united states over 60 representatives in congress have introduced a bill that would ban impo

it brings up the scenario that the kremlin, or at least parts of the kremlin that are connecting with matthew chance on the story we're actually telling the truth that at a certain level, a lot of folks didn't know that there was a negotiation going down. if there was the timing though seems significant on navalny aides saying that the final stages of the agreement were in place on february 15 of course, navalny died on the 16th the following day. does that add all do you make his death seem more suspicious? >> it does. it does. but when you're dealing with governments at lie and you may never get the true. >> you just don't know. >> and then the whole misinformation back-and-forth it could have been the understanding of one group that negotiations were further on when they weren't. and that's kind of the problem with these negotiations when they're dunk covertly is really getting that word out is always one of our time to be scared is when we thought we were close to the deal. and if the actual hostage takers who had custody of the person knew that too, said that no harm or that they

he accused the kremlin of trying to assassinate him.tician, he felt he couldn't stay away from russia. when he returned the following year, he was arrested on arrival. he'd beenin was arrested on arrival. he'd been in prison ever since. his friends and family fearing for his safety. just hours after alexei navalny was reported dead, his wife, yulia, metred dramatic appearance at the munich security conference. she couldn't confirm his death, but... �* ,, �* h but... translation: if it's true, i but. . . translation: if it's true, i want _ but. . . translation: if it's true, i want putin - but. . . translation: if it's true, i want putin and - but. . . translation: if it's true, i want putin and his l true, i want putin and his whole entourage, his friends and his government, to know that they will be held responsible for everything they've done to our country, to my family and to my husband. and this day will come very soon. �* ., . and this day will come very soon. ~ ., . , soon. and once finished speaking. _ soon. and once finished sp

this be the kremlin? would they be so dumb to try to kill the opposition figure, the main opposition figure. i was skeptical. i thought maybe it's one of the many oligarchs on whose fitness that either it's a state ordered attack or it is somebody who's trying to assassinate opposition figures in order to appease putin >> the closest anyone's come to tracing a poisoning to vladimir putin. the 2018 attack in salisbury, england a defiant kremlin insisting again, that had nothing to do with a brazen assassination attempt, a former russian spy, sergei skripal scrape all it was poisoned by the military grade nerve agent novichok >> the seriousness of novichok is that it actually started switching off your nerve connectors in your body one-by-one if it's those properly, it will just turn you off as a body. but then within hours, any trace it will disappear. who will always forever look like. it was a natural death and this is why it's appears to be the preferred form of killing four people whose death will be i

social media of the to the valley is in fact killed by kremlin. and i would like to, as i would like to add that to the valleys just to the most recent case, and a rather long list of the buildings are position killed by, by his forces. and we're seeing the information that has been coming out of russia . right, because i mean, the family has been blocked now from seeing the body they're trying to, to get access. how are you viewing? how russia is framing the story to the outside world into its own domestic public? um, i think that it is very important to, to really keep in mind that this is not the 1st case that there's something like this happens that the kremlin is dealing with the, with the therapist. opponents of the way that they know how, which is by killing them, and we need to keep in mind abroad that indeed the volunteers just the most recent case in rather a long list of, of such feelings and starting was unable as close to a live version and so of a few years ago and others who were killed by kremlin. and the, the message that we need

and the host of the moscow kremlin putin program pavel zarobin. carlos, he said that after the interview, just so that now maybe to dispel the doubts that arose, this is my question. carlson said that after the interview you had more conversations. now everyone is wondering about what? well, he went through some of his plans, as i already said, and as i understand, that’s it, he didn’t go beyond the scope of this plan. his relatives, his great-grandfather fled from russia from jewish pogroms, in different countries of the world, in europe, in the states, this topic is constantly arises, i repeat, arises with the aim of demonizing russia, to show what kind of barbarians are here, what kind of scoundrels and robbers live here, in fact, if you look at what today said... mr. blinkin left kiev for the united states, it means , there was no ukraine there, if he says that he fled from russia, apparently, mr. blinkin is our man, but in vain he makes such public statements, this can lead to failure. these were fragments of an interview with vladimir putin,

our loss is one of the few high profile kremlin kremlin critics who is not currently in exile or in prison. most of my children are moving and we're going to end this show by giving alexi nevada need the last word. here's an excerpt from an oscar winning documentary, a button devonie followed the politician as he recovered in germany. after being poisoned, the filmmaker asks what nevada these message to supporters would have been if he were killed. yours is on sir. a message for the uh station of a named kilt is very simple, loved you up. do me a favor? answer this one in russia. um it was just a minute for us to attribute maybe she needs the why it's not the just the what so yes, the bodies us look at those my change the weeks. yeah. but cannot be unless you leave with a my, me, i'm going to send you this really mean you will be there in the sports image of a single yes, no upset for many tungsten we a girl may use your daughter. yeah. not quote. it's about getting your don't what they took, what she walk, the last piece, least with almost when you moved or massage night and this will, co

this is a narrative being pushed by the kremlin. one that they are using usefully to try and demonstrate that they can outwait us. i want to be clear that this is false. the truth is that ukraine has the ability to defeat russia. the truth is that our coalition has withstood the test of time and the alliance between europe and the united states is stronger than it's been. and american history shows us that we know what it takes to stop a tyrant who seeks to unleash brutality and also to rewrite borders and to rewrite the global order. in cementing russia's failure requires us to use not only our diplomacy, but also our sanctions and export controls to deny the kremlin access to the goods they need to build the weapons they want. but it also requires us to provide ukraine with the financial support and the weapons they need to defend their country. as i mentioned earlier, russia today is more isolated from the global economy than at any point since the cold war. the basic reason for this is that the countries that are part of our coa

to do with navalny presents a conundrum for the kremlin. let him go and risk looking weak or lock him up, knowing it could turn him into a political martyr. >> yes you remember i see. one proud of you know, you're not scared, alexa yet, use this a pretty krasner it was dotted three months. you seen it obviously because once the war, but at lower water that the lies to try with yeah, but it's pretty that's the question >> you by your sip began yes. should >> once you've said unexpectedly, vladimir putin has a genuine challenger, a handsome 41 year-old lawyer, alexey navalny who was chosen one of the most dangerous occupations in the world, running against the man who controls the kremlin, was more than any other opposition figures in russia. alexey navalny gets ordinary people, had to protest if i want to fight putin, if i want to be lizard >> of a country, i have to do something practical about it. >> well, >> i have to kind of organize people well that's the job >> a lot >> we've got record >> trial is forbidden >> i >> realized i can do l

so that's one reason why it could be worrying, i think, for the kremlin. and the other reason is that russia has, you know, a long history of women's movements uh, protest, movements during the war in chechnya. there were also um mothers process um for political prisoners when i was uh, covering the events in moscow. and it provides a, it's a, it's a real problem for the kremlin in terms of optics, because what are they going to do? they're going to be down these, these women on the street that the head is not a good look. and yeah, so i think there, there has been some moves to silence these women. they've been talking about the police visiting them about their rallies being banned about their husbands on the front. even getting visits from the f. s be having pressure put on them. but they're continuing and in a way they're coming up against this repressive system that perhaps they hadn't known about before. so this could be something that radicalize is them, and radicalized as others, but it's still of course, minority. and the russian state is very expe

each other and it's strange, but, well, i would say that international relationships between the kremlin foreign countries, they wasn't the hot issue inside of russia. so, well, someone is good for putin, someone is bad, it doesn't care for me. but do you in any sense feel betrayed by an incoming us president who says that he regards working closely with putin would be a great asset? you know, because in a sense, that works against everything you are trying to achieve. you are trying to tell the russian people that as long as putin has power, russia is going to be facing sanctions, russia is going to be isolated... right, right. ..russia has no international future and yet... well... ..trump�*s message is very different. i don't like it and i could say honestly that i'm irritated by this, annoyed by this, but i don't feel betrayed. and i can tell you about moments when i felt betrayed. when putin's oligarch, in the top of the british list of most wealthy people, when government officials from russia buying apartments costing £11 million in london, when they are freely travelling all over

eventually, kremlin-backed wagner group mercenaries captured the city.ons, syrsky. extremely unpopular among ordinary ukrainian citizens. ukrainian military officials, who willingly communicate with western journalists on condition of complete anonymity, call syrsky’s appointment a very bad decision. his orders demoralize the troops, and he himself undermines confidence in the entire ukrainian command. despite, as the rators agency claims, the official call sign is snow leopard. according to politico and the new york times in the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine the new head of the armed forces received the nicknames butcher and general. 200, the final reference to the 200 load, a designation for dead soldiers on the battlefield. when speaking about syrsky’s appointment off the record, ukrainian soldiers express themselves much more succinctly. these statements are not subject to literary translation, but the meaning is obviously clear. commanding ground forces during the bloody ten-month battle of bakhmud in 2022-23, syrsky made decisions that led t
