Unlike Putin's agent Trump- Sec State Blinken condemns Russia on Navalny/protests

[SteveG]

The U.S. condemns the persistent use of harsh tactics against peaceful protesters and journalists by Russian authorities for a second week straight. We renew our call for Russia to release those detained for exercising their human rights, including Aleksey Navalny.
