Kremlin must also ‘explain’ chemical weapon use, says foreign secretary Dominic Raab
Boris Johnson’s government has demanded that Russia releases Alexei Navalny “immediately”, following the Kremlin critic’s arrest in Moscow upon flying home from Germany.
The opposition leader’s detention by Russian authorities has drawn international condemnation – with some western nations calling for sanctions against Vladimir Putin’s government.
UK calls for immediate release of Putin critic after ‘appalling’ arrest. Kremlin must also ‘explain’ chmical weapon use, says foreign secretary Dominic Raab who stopped short of threatening any further action against Russia. Mr Raab added: “Rather than persecuting Mr Navalny, Russia should explain how a chemical weapon came to be used on Russian soil.”
