Navalny’s death a ‘message' to the West

The death of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny is a “message” to the West, according to German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius. Vladimir Putin’s political opponent, Alexei Navalny, has died in prison at the age of 47. Mr Pistorius said Putin’s message to the West “came out on purpose”. “Germany is now … the second biggest supporter of Ukraine after the United States of America,” Mr Pistorius said. “We do everything we can.”
