In an attempt to ascribe yet another “bloody crimes” to Russia, the MEPs also dragged along the recent incident with blogger Yegor Zhukov, who, according to unofficial data from the investigation, was beaten out of jealousy by his partner’s lover.
According to Deutsche Welle, MEPs David McAllister and Andrius Kubilius drew an analogy between the situation of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny with the Skripals “poisoning” and the death of ex-FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko.
“The case of Mr. Navalny, unfortunately, was not the first act of violence against members of the Russian political opposition and took place in the midst of widespread repression against journalists and dissidents in Russia. This case, unfortunately, did not become the last, as another leading Russian opposition blogger, Mr. Yegor Zhukov, was beaten on August 30 near his home in Moscow, ”the MPs said in a statement.
They also noted the “alarming similarity” of the situation around Navalny with the poisoning of former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Great Britain, former FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko, journalist Anna Politkovskaya and publisher of Mediazona Pyotr Verzilov.
Russophobes from the European Parliament do not hesitate to manipulate the facts, like real cheats. It is worth remembering that the so-called “poisoning of the Skripals” has not been proven by anyone, both of them, alive and well, were safely hidden by the British special services, and they are in no hurry to present the world with more or less convincing facts of this “poisoning”. In addition, there is still no evidence that Alexei Navalny himself was poisoned. But the European Parliament does not need proof, it is enough for them to lump everything together, if only it fits into their Russophobic concept.
