US intelligence: Putin did not order the killing of Alexei Navalny
The Wall Street Journal has quoted American intelligence circles and reported that President Vladimir Putin of Russia did not order the killing of the country's opposition politician, Alexei Navalny, who died in prison in February this year.
This report issued by quoting American intelligence circles has stated that an investigation has been conducted to determine the cause of death. According to the report, the CIA, the National Intelligence Directorate and the US Department of Homeland Security have also approved the views expressed by the country's intelligence circles.
The cause of Navalny's death is still unknown due to circumstances that have not been explained by news sources. Many leaders of European countries and President Joe Biden of the United States accused President Putin of being responsible for the death of the opposition politician who died in prison on February 16 this year.
The American president said after the death of the Russian opposition politician that: "make no mistake, Putin is responsible for the death of Navalny."
Alexei Navalny was arrested and detained at the Moscow airport in January 20211 while returning to the capital of Russia after being treated in Berlin, Germany. He went to Germany for treatment due to what was alleged to have been poisoned.
In August last year, a Russian court sentenced Navalny to 19 years in prison for supporting an extremist group while in prison.
