In an exclusive video interview with German newspaper BILD, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy talks about the emotional toll of the war. A top aide to Alexei Navalny said that the war in Ukraine sped up Putin's demise. The people in the political and economic elite have seen their lifestyles change. Russia has been isolated politically and economically by the war. A top aide to imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has accelerated his own downfall by launching an unprovoked war in Ukraine. The beginning of the end of Putin began some time ago. I think this war has made many people in Russia and outside of Russia unhappy with him. The people in the political and economic elite have seen their lifestyles turned upside down, their fortunes decimated, according to the executive director of Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation. The war in Ukraine has led countries to impose unprecedented economic sanctions on Russia. The conflict has united the West in many ways. The UN General Assembly voted to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council in early April. The Russian military has struggled to make any major gains since the February 24 invasion and has turned its attention to the eastern Donbas region. Up to 15,000 Russia troops have been killed in Ukraine so far, with a staggering number of Russian generals among the dead. Average Russians are seeing brands they have become accustomed to like McDonald's and IKEA leave their country because of the war, and inflation is soaring to record levels. Even with Navalny jailed, the Kremlin critic's organization senses an opportunity and is working to counter Russian propaganda that obscures or denies the brutal realities of the Ukraine war, while continuing to investigate corruption among Putin's inner circle. This makes Putin unpopular and it affects everyone. I believe that this speeds up his demise. Taking down Putin will take time. The leader of Russia has gone to extraordinary lengths to stifle dissent. The most prominent critic of the Kremlin is Navalny. The anti-corruption campaigner was almost killed by the nerve agent Novichok in Siberia in August 2020. Putin has denied any involvement in the poisoning of Navalny. After receiving treatment in Germany, Navalny returned to Moscow and was arrested. He was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for violating parole and treatment in Germany. mass protests in Russia were caused by his imprisonment. A judge who was promoted by Putin to a higher court added nine years to Navalny's sentence. The charges against Navalny are politically motivated. Navalny has continued to criticize Putin from prison and called on Russians to oppose the war. Navalny's political network was banned in Russia last year, but his foundation is still trying to expose corruption. Keeping the Russian opposition movement alive is no easy task, with Navalny in prison and new restrictions on independent media. The foundation relocated staff toLithuania in 2021, establishing a new office in Vilnius, after the Extremist movement in Russia. The last year and a half has been difficult for the democratic movement and independent journalists in Russia. The war with the Ukraine has made this more difficult. Putin signed a law that could see people sentenced to up to 15 years for spreading fake news about the Russian military. Thousands of anti-war protesters have been arrested in Russia. Over the last two months, we have seen the last independent media outlets in Russia close. Many people left the country. Repression went up. Vladimir Kara-Murza, our friend and ally, has been put in jail for giving a speech about the war in the US. It was never easy for the Russian opposition. We continue our work, Ashurkov said. He said that the Anti-Corruption Foundation is focused on three areas at the moment, including expanding its social media presence, trying to break through Putin's propaganda, and using virtual private network to reach Russians. The Anti-Corruption Foundation has released a list of over 6000 people who are involved in different aspects of the war in Ukraine and who should be considered for sanction. —Leonid Volkov (@leonidvolkov) April 26, 2022 These are the big things we are trying to do in these difficult conditions. When the situation in Russia changes and a political crisis emerges, Navalny's allies are always prepared. We are quite positive. Ashurkov said Navalny continues to play a key role in the foundation and he remains in contact with him through the jailed opposition leader's lawyers. Our team and his family communicate with him through a lawyer who visits him on the weekdays for about an hour. During this time, he writes his notes to his family and to us, and he reads the materials we sent him. He is still an important part of the team despite being in prison. Given the recent extension of Navalny's sentence, it's not clear how long that line of communication will last. We don't know if he will be moved. There were grave concerns among his allies that Navalny was on the verge of death after he went on a hunger strike in prison. At the moment, Navalny's health seems fine, but that doesn't mean he's out of danger. Russian security services have shown us that they can do bad things all over the world. Navalny is in a Russian prison that is not a particularly safe place. "We are concerned, but for now he feels OK," Ashurkov said, adding that Navalny's story is one filled with miracles. A call to one of his assassins, a recovery after a murder attempt, and a return to Russia despite all the threats. He will not be cowed by any threats in the future. The danger posed by Putin is not limited to Navalny, Russia, or Ukraine. I don't think anyone on planet Earth has a secure future if there is a maniac with a nuclear bomb.
