..."Volkov said the poisoning of Navalny in 2020 and his subsequent jailing upon returning from Germany — he is now serving a nine-year sentence for fraud — were part of a Kremlin crackdown on Russia's opposition before launching the attack on Ukraine.
He said Navalny had repeatedly spoken out against the war during court appearances. “Every time he does, he is punished,” he added.
Volkov said Russian authorities remain sensitive to outside pressure, such as when hundreds of doctors petitioned for Navalny to be given medical treatment recently.
“There are maybe signs that they are actually listening in the Kremlin,” he said. “Not because they are good people — they’re not — not because they are humanistic, but because they are vulnerable.”
Volkov suggested that Putin might seek to use Navalny in possible future peace talks.
“He knows that at some point in time he will be forced into negotiations and then, okay, many options will be on the table,” he said."
