I was puzzled for a bit about why this was the top story on the BBC right now — after all, they reported on Navalny's death two years ago, and on the results of some laboratory tests suggesting poisoning last September — until I realized that this isn't a story about Navalny, or even about the possible/likely cause of his death, but rather about a statement by the UK Foreign Secretary, that little "UK says" part in the end of the title.

- sigwinch 8mo agoAt this security conference, Zelenskyy was able to talk about the secrecy of the Anchorage meeting last August. Putin dominated that meeting; mostly without an interpreter. And there was no ceasefire, no progress from Europe’s point of view, so security observers must conclude that Russia prefers the status quo and directed Trump to do the same. If the US Secretary of State is going to tell Europe about Russia, they reminded him that Spicy/Venomous Pepe memes have escaped.
