Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny claims, if he is elected president, he is ready to withdraw Russian troops from the occupied areas of eastern Ukraine and hold a fair referendum in the Russian-annexed Crimea, according to the Russian independent television channel Dozhd.
“I will implement the Minsk agreements. The world demands we implement them, Ukraine demands their implementation… I will fulfill the Russian part of the Minsk deal, will turn over control of the border (to Ukraine),” Navalny told in an interview with Russia TV host, journalist and public figure Ksenia Sobchak on TV Channel Dozhd on Friday, June 9.
