Russian pro-democracy leader Garry Kasparov expressed deep concern over the recent events surrounding the death of Alexei Navalny, a prominent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kasparov highlighted the bravery of the protesters in Moscow and criticized the lack of decisive action from Western politicians in response to Putin's aggression.
Kasparov pointed out the delayed military aid and financial support to Ukraine, which prolonged the conflict and emboldened Putin. He emphasized that the sanctions imposed on Russia have not significantly impacted Putin's regime, particularly in terms of oil and gas revenues.
Furthermore, Kasparov raised alarm over the inadequate ammunition supply for Ukrainian forces due to political gridlock in Congress. He underscored the urgent need for stronger international intervention to support Ukraine and counter Putin's aggression.
Regarding Navalny's death, Kasparov condemned Putin's regime for its alleged involvement and criticized the lack of meaningful consequences from world leaders. He called for swift and decisive action to hold Putin accountable for his actions and prevent further atrocities.
Kasparov warned that Putin's actions set a dangerous precedent for other authoritarian leaders worldwide, signaling that they can act with impunity. He urged global leaders to unite in condemning Putin's regime and taking concrete steps to address the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the broader threat to democracy.
