President Joe Biden recently addressed questions regarding the death of Alexei Navalny and the possible consequences Russia should face. When asked if this was an assassination, the President stated that the exact nature of what happened is still unclear. However, he emphasized that it is undeniable that Navalny's death is a result of actions taken by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his associates.
During his meeting with Putin in Geneva three years ago, President Biden had warned of severe consequences should Navalny die in Russian custody. Regarding these consequences, the President acknowledged that Russia has already faced significant repercussions over the past three years. He cited the loss of over 350,000 Russian soldiers and the imposition of wide-ranging sanctions against Russia as evidence of the actions taken.
