At the same time, President Biden said that the upcoming meeting with President Putin is important and he will ask Moscow to cooperate in areas of mutual interest if the Kremlin chooses to do the same, according to Reuters. “I want to make it clear to President Putin that there are areas where we can cooperate if he chooses to go this way. If he chooses not to cooperate and act the way he has in the past with regard to cybersecurity and certain other activities, we will respond in the same way,” Biden said. However, President Biden also said that he would make it clear to Putin where the “red lines” are. “I have shared with our allies what will convey to Putin, that I do not seek conflict with Russia but we will respond if Russia continues its harmful activities and we will not. failed to defend the transatlantic alliance. We stand for democratic values,” Biden said. In addition, the White House president also noted that “it would be a disaster” if Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny died in prison. Specifically, according to the US leader, “Mr Navalny’s death will be another sign that Russia has little or no intention to adhere to basic human rights. It was a disaster. That does nothing but hurt Russia’s relationship with the rest of the world.” It is known that the meeting between President Biden and his counterpart Putin is scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City.

Dr. Alexander Murakhovsky is the chief physician of Omsk Hospital, promoted after Navalny was initially treated there.

British media Reuters, The Guardian, the US BBC all simultaneously reported that the last of the three doctors who had treated Mr. Navalny was now missing. On May 9, as Russia was celebrating Victory Day, the Internal Affairs Service in Omsk made an announcement about a man in his fifties who had been separated from his friends. He is said to have not been seen since going into the woods in an off-road vehicle. To make matters worse, local residents say they have spotted bears in the area. Western media outlets at the time raised a series of theories about the possibility that this person might have been assassinated in a “speak-up” plot related to possible issues in the Navalny case. The Russian opposition figure was believed to have been poisoned by Novichok but the doctors treating it in Omsk at the time, including Dr. Alexander Murakhovsky, confirmed to the press that they did not identify it as a nerve agent like what described about Novichok. The Western media has been so sensitive to information about Novichok that it has linked the failure to find Dr. Alexander Murakhovsky with the deaths of the doctors associated with Navalny: The disappearance of Dr. Sergey Maksimishin and a female Another doctor died of a stroke. The Sun, the UK’s most widely read newspaper, asserts that Sergey Maksimishin “was poisoned to prevent him from disclosing a Kremlin attack on Novichok”. The unnamed source cited by reporters said that “the reason he was liquidated was because he was willing to share information about the treatment he had access to.” A second doctor at the clinic later died of a stroke, adding to the conviction of a conspiracy theory involving Novichok. Bill Browder, a hedge fund manager who led accusations of anti-Russian sanctions, said the news was “incredible”. “After the two doctors who treated and saved Alexei Navalny at the hospital in Omsk died, one of the three has now disappeared on a hunting trip,” he added. Andreas Umland, a research fellow at Stockholm’s Center for Eastern European Studies, thinks even further, suggesting that Dr. Murakhovsky went into the woods with employees of Moscow’s top domestic security agency during the day. a plot to “destroy the word”. “The FSB’s signal to Russian society seems clear. Not to interfere in our affairs or other things that are not the doctor’s duty,” he reasoned. According to Reuters, the wife of Dr. Alexander Murakhovsky confirmed that he went into the forest and did not return after more than a day had passed.

But two days later Dr. Murakhovsky was back, healthy, and he didn’t even know there had been a search for him. Silence for 2 days, the Russian newspaper RT then commented that, a man can chase the animal he wants to hunt for 1 or 2 days is probably not a problem, but for Dr. Murakhovsky is completely different. Perhaps he couldn’t think of what was said about him during the past two days. The newspaper also said that regarding the deaths of two doctors at Omsk Hospital, both were speculated by the Western media. Doctors at Omsk hospital confirmed, within days [Navalny] receiving treatment at the hospital, doctor Sergei Maksimishin was on sick leave and was “not involved in Navalny’s care”. As for the female doctor at the clinic who died of a stroke, the evidence shows that the death was natural, convincingly, unlike the Western media alleging without correction of misinformation. truth in Russia.

According to the Kremlin’s announcement, Putin signed the decree relating to “diplomatic missions and consulates, representative offices of foreign agencies or organizations” that act against the state, Russian people or organizations, collectively referred to as “hostile foreign countries”. Accordingly, “unfriendly countries” will be restricted – or in certain cases banned – from hiring or employing Russian nationals. Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Ordinance states that the number of employees in foreign agencies and representative offices in excess of the prescribed number of Moscow government, even though there is a contract before the decree is signed, will have to be terminated. . This decree does not affect diplomats, consulates or citizens of the country where the representative office is located in Russia.

The Ordinance will take effect from the date it was officially announced, that is, April 23, and will be enforced until these responses are canceled. The Kremlin noted that the decree was consistent with current provisions of Russian law, including a federal law on “responses to unfriendly acts of the US and other countries”. Russia’s decree was issued in the midst of Moscow facing waves of expulsion of Russian diplomats. Germany, Poland and Sweden expelled three Russian diplomats in response to Moscow’s expulsion of three European diplomats for involvement in protests demanding the release of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny. The US expelled 10 Russian diplomats for alleged election interference and cyber attacks. Ukraine expelled “a senior diplomat” from Russia after Russia detained and expelled a Ukrainian consulate-general on allegations of espionage. Most recently, the Czech Republic expelled 18 Russian diplomats over allegations that the Russian secret was involved in two explosions of ammunition depots in the Central European country. Because of “solidarity with the Czech Republic”, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia expelled many Russian diplomats. These moves led to a series of “reciprocal” retaliation measures between Russia and these countries, making relations between Moscow and the West even more tense.
