Peskov also said that the Kremlin does not intend to listen to statements from abroad on the situation with Navalny, but advocates good relations with all countries.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov commented on the West's reaction to the detention of Alexei Navalny.

According to him, "one can directly feel the joy with which the comments go, as if they were a carbon copy."

“With joy, because it allows Western politicians to think that in this way they will be able to divert attention from the deepest crisis in which the liberal model of development has found itself,” said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The Russian Foreign Minister recommended that Western politicians "not look for external reasons to justify their own actions or to divert attention from their own problems and crises."

Lavrov also advised "to play honestly and look for opportunities to solve their internal problems in honest, equal international cooperation."
