Kremlin Slams US Interference in Navalny Situation as Unacceptable

The Kremlin considers unacceptable any external interference, including by the United States, in the situation with the blogger Alexey Navalny, convicted in Russia, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Commenting on the statement of US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller, who said that Washington had drawn Moscow's attention to concerns about the fate of Navalny, the spokesman said: "I am, frankly speaking, not aware of this, perhaps it was conveyed through the Foreign Ministry."

"But here we are talking about one of the prisoners who was found guilty according to the law and is serving his due sentence. And here we consider any interference by anyone, including the United States, inadmissible and unacceptable," Peskov said, TASS reported.
