Maria Zakharova ... Russia's first response to demands for Navalny's release
Today, Tuesday, the Russian Foreign Ministry responded to Western countries' demands to release the Russian dissident, Alexei Navalny, who was sentenced to three and a half years in prison.
And the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, expressed her admiration for the statement of the US embassy in Moscow, about the US diplomats ’request to the Russian authorities to monitor Navalny’s case from a distance, according to the Russian" Novosti "agency.
Zakharova said that the presence of foreign diplomats in the court to attend Navalny's trial is an interference in Russia's internal affairs, and an exposure of the West's attempts to contain Russia.
Zakharova considered that the demands of Western politicians, including French President Emmanuel Macron, to release Navalny are far from reality, adding: "This is a complete disconnect from reality or a lack of understanding of what has been discussed today."
