On air 24 ChannelThe head of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation, Sergei Kuzan, suggested whether Navalny's supporters and other oppositionists might protest sharply if his death is confirmed.

Will they be released Russians attend rallies because of Navalny's death

According to the head of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation, Putin's opposition within Russia is not capable of any acts of direct disobedience. As the rebellion of Yevgeny Prigozhin showed, today only forceful confrontation can influence the regime of Vladimir Putin.

The Russian opposition ultimately needs to understand that if they do not support the armed struggle against the dictator’s regime, then they will all be killed just like Alexei Navalny,” Kuzan emphasized.

He noted that now there are many ways to join in the violent overthrow of the Kremlin government. For example, to the Legion “Freedom of Russia” and the Russian Volunteer Corps. All these structures are purely Russian, consist of Russian citizens and operate under the supervision of the Main Intelligence Directorate.

Supporting armed formations, creating an information agenda, propaganda of a healthy partisan movement in Russia, and only then on this basis can there be associations with political demands. Until Putin’s government and intelligence services are eliminated from the Kremlin, it is inappropriate to talk about any other methods and forms of influence in Russia, said the head of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation.

The Kremlin is tightening the screws on the opposition

Vladimir Putin and his regime bear full responsibility for the life and health of prisoner Alexei Navalny. First of all, it was in the interests of the dictator to blow away the specks of dust from Navalny and to provide all the conditions so as not to once again provoke the strengthening of opposition sentiments.

However Putin's power has escalated. Recently, there has been an increasing “tightening of the screws,” and even public opinion leaders in Russia loyal to the Kremlin are increasingly hinting that their trips to the occupied territories of Ukraine and support for the so-called “svo” are obligatory, Kuzan added.

According to him, if they really tortured him, this would mean that Putin actually gave the order to kill the main opposition figure in Russia, Navalny.
