Ukraine and Navalny cast shadows over Putin speech

Ukraine and Navalny cast shadows over Putin speech © Reuters Russian President Vladimir Putin will shortly give his annual state of the nation address, amid heightened tension with the West over Ukraine and jailed Putin critic Alexei Navalny. Much of the speech is expected to focus on how Russia recovers from the Covid pandemic, including plans for welfare and infrastructure improvements. But in the past Mr Putin has also used the occasion to send signals abroad. Russia has moved more than 100,000 troops close to Ukraine, reports say. A large part of that force is in Crimea, the peninsula which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014. A senior Ukrainian officer, Gen Serhiy Nayev, estimated the total force to be 103,200 last week.
