President Putin deals with his political opponents either by poisoning them or imprisoning them. In the case of Mr. Alexei Navalny, he did both. He had him poisoned in August 2020 and imprisoned in January 2021. I am conscious of the limited powers we as a country have, but what are the views of the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs in respect of the ongoing detention of Mr. Navalny and other political prisoners in Russia?
