Russian Deputy Defence Minister Timur Ivanov was arrested today on charges of corruption on a particularly large scale as Vladimir Putin tightens his iron grip on Russia.
Navalny, 46, who exposed official corruption and organised massive anti-Kremlin protests, was arrested in January 2021 upon returning to Moscow after recuperating in Germany from nerve-agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin.
Navalny has spent a year in jail on old fraud charges after surviving a poison attack, for which he and the West blame the Kremlin. He said the war on Ukraine was unleashed to divert the citizens' attention from the problems that exist in Russia.
