Putin phá vỡ sự im lặng về cái chết của Navalny, gọi đó là 'sự cố đáng tiếc'
nhà lãnh đạo Nga tuyên bố ông sẵn sàng thả Navalny trong cuộc trao đổi tù nhân khi thủ lĩnh phe đối lập qua đời vào tháng trước tại trại giam ở Bắc Cực

President Vladimir V. Putin described the death of the imprisoned opposition leader (mô tả cái chết của thủ lĩnh phe đối lập bị cầm tù) Aleksei A. Navalny as an “unfortunate incident” and claimed he had been ready to release him in exchange for Russian prisoners held in the West.
Mr. Putin, in a news conference after Russia’s presidential election, said that “some people” had told him before Mr. Navalny’s death “that there was an idea to exchange (trao đổi) Mr. Navalny for some people held in correctional facilities in Western countries.”
Aides to Mr. Navalny asserted after his death that he had been on the verge of being freed (trên bờ vực được giải phóng) in a prisoner exchange. A Western official told The New York Times at the time that “early discussions” on the possibility of such a swap had been underway when Russian authorities reported Mr. Navalny dead on Feb. 16.
The Western official said that the discussions had involved swapping Mr. Navalny along with two Americans imprisoned in Russia — Evan Gershkovich, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, and Paul Whelan, a corporate security executive (giám đốc công ty an ninh) and former Marine — in exchange for Vadim Krasikov. Currently imprisoned in Germany, Mr. Krasikov was convicted of killing a former Chechen separatist fighter in Berlin in 2019.
