Navalny's death is a huge loss to democracy - NATO chief | Ian Bremmer | GZERO World

Alexei Navalny's death is a huge loss for the democratic world and for Russians, says NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana. Ian Bremmer was interviewing Geoana at the Munich Security Conference when news of Russian opposition leader Navalny’s death broke.

News broke early Friday that Russian dissident Alexei Navalny – a vocal critic of President Vladimir Putin – has died in prison. “On 16.02.24 in the correctional colony number three, convict Navalny felt ill after a walk almost immediately losing consciousness,” the Federal Penitentiary Service for Yamal said in a statement, noting that emergency services were unable to revive him.

This interview is part of our upcoming GZERO World with Ian Bremmer episode on the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
