Kremlin has rejected diplomacy over Alexei Navalny imprisonment, says EU foreign chief ahead of meeting
Russia must be met with “united and determined” action over the imprisonment of the opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the EU’s foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell, has said ahead of ministerial discussions on sanctions.
Borrell, a former Spanish foreign minister, who was widely seen as being humiliated during a press conference with his Russian counterpart in Moscow earlier this month, said the Kremlin had rejected a diplomatic way out of the crisis.
