navalny is serving an 11 1/2 year prison term in russia. joining us is matt bradley.s a good question. the short answer is we don't really know because like so many of those trials involving opposition figures, this was a closed door proceeding. apparently not even navalny's parents who haven't seen their son in person for more than a year were allowed to attend. the results from today were not a surprise to anyone, least of all to navalny himself. prosecutors had already called for navalny to spend two decades more in jail, in addition to as you said that 11-year prison sentence he's already serving. he released a statement on telegram yesterday saying that the sentence will be a long one, will now be serving more than time than many murderers and rapists and said the main purpose was to intimidate. and the list of charges against him looked like they were trumped up. he was accused of promoting terrorism, funding extremism and the unique charge of rehabilitating naziism. that's a criminal charge only put on the books in the past ten years and that russian human righ

will not be killed before, i will continue to quote, then if navalny becomes president, then putin willkmailed. that navalny said from prison that the future democratic russia will leave ukraine 100% 100% from ukraine and that reparations will be paid from the future revenues from the export of hydrocarbons to the port, vingo hydrogens, then we will weigh that, so that ukraine should take into account that such a discussion is taking place among prisoners putin and the emigration of the russian russian migration and part of the russian elites - it is good and not bad, it is good if the alternative russian elite had such a plan eh prigozhin and his egoless rebellion led to the fact that in wagnerivka now in belarus and some of them are very close to the border with poland or scared poland showed still close to the border from the polish society perceives reports about representatives of a terrorist organization very close to their country during the election campaign, so the government is trying to build a sense of threat here, but i don't think that a few hundred or even a few thousand

mr navalny�*s youtube channel repeatedly exposed the kremlin�*s corruption.

, you have to quote, i quote further, then if navalny becomes president, then putin's dogas came out was surprised that he was recorded as a bitter medical prisoner in ukraine, but this person is considered a criminal and a terrorist, a ruffian , a terrorist, one thing, one thing, another thing. he does not deny that navalny said from prison that the future of democratic russia is 100% will leave ukraine and pay reparations from the future revenues from the export of hydrocarbons, it is important to take into account the acceptor, this conjecture, too, such a discussion is taking place among putin's prisoners of russian immigration and part of the russian elites - this is good and not bad, but alternatively , the russian elite had such a plan, everyone caused the fact that the wagners are now in belarus and some of them are very close to the border with poland, or a frightened poland has shown that they are still close to the brink, is it from the polish, or does polish society perceive the message about the representatives of a terrorist organization very close to their country. wel

if you talk to navalny before he went back and talk to his people today, their basic view is navalny is in power. stacking these sentences one upon another is kind of immaterial. he's not guilty of these things. this is just putin kind of cracking down on the repression in russia. i think what you see, though, is putin more and more afraid. he's not just detaining navalny. he recently detained a far right critic of his. he's feeling heat from prigozhin, from nationals, and he wants to keep people like alexei navalny locked up. the phase of the war we're in you see a more totalitarian russia exemplified, more aggressive ukraine striking into russia, so i think we could be entering a time where it's not just ukraine, and its politics that merits watching, it it's russia. we're inside russia and what is the effect of putin's crackdown, putin's opponents and these more aggressive ukrainian strikes to bring the war to russia. >> jake sullivan is going to saudi arabia. what do you think of the saudis hosting a summit, ukrainian sponsored to try to bring some of the global south countries,

are no human rights violations on the side, they don’t like putin’s freedom of speech either, and navalnyturn the country into a blooming garden of paradise, where everyone will live in abundance and at the same time do nothing. in the meantime, the leader and views are resting in prison. they run to see. but what about there in lithuania in germany well, in fact, that's it. i am alexey yurievich kazakov, born in 1986. on the second day of july , the republic of lithuania arrived. i ended up on the territory of lithuania and asked for political asylum, as a result, the border guards who arrived me together with my brother, his viktorovich , born in 1998, put handcuffs separately face down in the ground. they interrogated and said that everything would be fine. after that , they just took us like wet, dirty dogs with wet clothes, no food, no water. they threw us out of the territory and at the same time they said go there, there is a fire. at the same time, we have nothing to do with any legal requirements that we asked for political asylum, the court of all those moments on which the foun

considered a problem, that is, a person does not see this, but these are really such a person as navalnys not understand this danger, i perfectly understand what stalin is - you understand perfectly . stalin was an absolutely brilliant specialist in national issues, he is about everything the peoples of the soviet union, he knew everything by heart like an encyclopedia. he would tell about any nation. he would tell who lives where. he was the first head of national affairs in the soviet union, where even in the 17th year everyone always talked about his competence in these issues, but he didn't need any competence. he needed the support of the russian people . yes, he clearly understands that if he now opposes putin's war in ukraine , he will lose popularity among the broad masses of the russian people, and he hopes that if the regime collapses, he wants to lead this dispersal. to write it in a letter. well, they probably used some kind of torture on him and they could n’t. i think that if this letter was handed over , it was either written by the novals themselves , written by people wh
