Alexei Navalny, a 47-year-old former lawyer, died after falling unconscious and falling unconscious at the "Polar Wolf" Arctic penal colony in Kharp, northeast of Moscow. His body was taken to Salekhard by Russian investigators for "research." Navalny s family demanded immediate delivery of his body.
The United States is also pressing for the release of another American citizen, Paul Whelan. The Kremlin declined on Tuesday to comment on whether a swap was being prepared, saying any deal could only be negotiated "in silence". Who are the Americans detained in Russia and who are the Russians held abroad whom Moscow would like to get back?
MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian investigators said on Thursday they had evidence showing that Ukraine's military shot down a Russian Il-76 military transport plane last week with U.S.-made Patriot surface-to-air missiles. The Russian Air Force Il-76 fell from the skies on Jan. 24. Russia said all 74 people on board, including 65 captured Ukrainian soldiers en route to be swapped for Russian prisoners of war, were killed, and blamed Kyiv for downing the plane.
The police claimed that a Ukrainian partisan contacted the teenagers online and offered them $150 to set fire to the relay box, which controls signals for train operators.
