The Ukrainian reaction to the death of Alexei Navalny has highlighted the depth of the disconnect between the two sides and the difficulty of achieving reconciliation.
MOSCOW — Ukraine and the liberal Russian opposition share a common enemy. Both want to see an end to President Vladimir Putin’s reign and his war against Ukraine.
“Relations between Ukrainians and Russians are strained in general. You cannot blame Ukrainians for hating Russia and in many cases this extends to all Russians,” said Vladimir Ashurkov, a close associate of the Navalnys. But Navalny had walked back these statements, most recently with the publication last year of a 15-point plan to dismantle Putin’s dictatorship and return Ukraine to its pre-1991 borders, including Crimea. The plan proposed to pay compensation to Ukraine and investigate Russian war crimes.as the latest evidence of Putin’s murderous regime, there was no outpouring of condolences. Some even delighted at the news, cheering the death of what several people called “an imperialist chauvinist.
Even teenagers have been arrested for protesting the war. In the weeks since Navalny’s death, the simple act of laying flowers has become a show of political defiance, with scores of people arrested at memorials and following the funeral.“Everything is getting worse and worse — we need a miracle. Everyone is waiting for something unexpected to happen — without their influence.
