The mysterious disappearance of Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, has raised concerns about his safety and well-being. Navalny has been missing for 18 days now, and his team's attempts to locate him have been unsuccessful. The prolonged absence of the former politician has left many questioning the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
Navalny's advisor, former Russian Deputy Energy Minister Vladimir Milov, believes that the timing of Navalny's disappearance is a deliberate tactic by President Putin. Milov suggests that Navalny vanished precisely when Putin announced the upcoming presidential elections, a move seen as an attempt to maintain power. Milov argues that Putin aims to intimidate and repress opposition forces by displaying his willingness to resort to coercion and pressure.
