National security adviser Sullivan warns of US retaliation if Kremlin critic Navalny dies
WASHINGTON – National security adviser Jake Sullivan said the United States would retaliate if Russian government critic Alexei Navalny dies during a prison hunger strike.
"We have communicated (to Russia) that there will be consequences if Mr. Navalny dies," Sullivan said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.
Sullivan did not specify how retaliation for Navlany's death might be carried out.
His warning comes as Navalny's supporters have raised alarm about the high-profile Kremlin critic's health. A pro-Navalny doctor's union warned Saturday that he was at risk of kidney failure. A spokesperson for Navalny warned he is at risk of dying soon.
