Public execution – military observer Kovalenko on Navalny's death
Ukrainian military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko believes Putin killed Navalny to demonstrate his absolute power
Kovalenko wrote about this on his Telegram channel.
“Regarding Navalny... Sounds like a demonstrative execution to me,” the message reads.
According to Kovalenko, Putin revels in his impunity, especially now that his main opponent, the U.S., is demonstrating historic levels of gutlessness and weakness.
“He has been reveling in impunity, killing Ukrainians and seizing our land since 2014. They've been reveling in impunity, killing Syrians. Spreading dictatorship in Africa. Killing undesirables outside of Russia,” Kovalenko states.
According to the military expert, in 2023, Putin defiantly killed Yevgeny Prigozhin, making it clear that he expects those who will go against him with weapons, but will not follow through. The weak are eliminated. Prigozhin turned out to be a weak and worthless rebel. Navalny was a weak oppositionist.
It would seem that he posed no threat to the system, but Putin needs a bloody demonstration of the Absolute of his power. Just in time for the election. Just in time for his address to the Federal Assembly. Just in time for the catalyzing of the fighting for Avdiivka. Right after his failed interview with Tucker Carlson. The humiliated midget needed a sacrifice to assert himself.
“What will the Russian opposition do? They could come out with balloons and throw snowballs. But the place of the Russian opposition has been eloquently pointed out. They will sit there until the Ukrainians free them from the bloody dictator,” Kovalenko concluded.
