OTTAWA – The chief of staff to Alexei Navalny, the imprisoned critic of the Russian president, is calling on Ottawa to impose new sanctions on those who he described as “Vladimir Putin’s oligarchs.”
Leonid Volkov told members of a parliamentary committee that freezing the assets of Putin’s friends would build leverage for western leaders, so they have stronger positions when putting pressure on the Russian president.
Every time Europe or (the United States) try to build bridges, to compromise, to build a dialogue, unfortunately, Putin, in his psychology, considers it to be just a sign of weakness, Volkov said. The personal sanctions against Putin s oligarchs are important to win leverage against him to build a strong position.
Volkov said Putin was personally offended by Navalny s investigation into a luxurious palace he was building, so he ordered his agents to poison the critic in August 2020. For Putin, really, money, like gold and red carpets, is the most important thing in the world, Volkov said.
He said Navalny was arrested in the airport on Jan. 17 upon returning from Germany, where he spent five months recovering from the poisoning, and he has been in prison since then.
