Peskov: Putin spoke about the idea of exchanging Navalny, but not about the fact of negotiations. On February 16, Alexei Navalny died in a colony: after a walk, he felt unwell and lost consciousness.
On August 4, 2023, he was sentenced to 19 years in a special regime colony in a criminal case for creating an extremist community. The Russian leader potentially agreed and informed the person who put forward such an initiative about it, Peskov said.
