Statements of Western politicians on the return of Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny to Russia aim to distract from the deep crisis that their countries find themselves in, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during a press conference on the outcomes of Russian diplomacy in 2020.

"We saw how they latched onto yesterday’s news of Navalny’s return to Russia. You can feel how glad they are to copy the same statements," TASS cited him as saying. 

"They are glad because it seems that this makes Western politicians think that in this way, they can distract from the deepest crisis that the liberal model of development finds itself in," Lavrov explained.

the press service for the Moscow department of the Federal Penitentiary Service said Alexey Navalny, who was put on the wanted list for missing several criminal inspection registrations as a person under a suspended sentence for the Yves Rocher case, has been detained at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport on Sunday.
