According to TASS, the head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, spoke about the cause of death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died in a prison in the Russian Arctic, in an interview on state TV on the 5th. "He died of natural causes," he said. Until now, the Russian government has not officially announced the cause of death, and this appears to be the first time a senior government official has mentioned it.

Asked by a TV host close to President Putin about the possibility that Western countries were involved in Navalny's death, Naryshkin said: ``I don't think it was a special plan.'' Everyone dies sooner or later. Navalny died of natural causes. ” he said.
As for Navalny's cause of death, the death certificate shown to his mother by the Russian authorities stated that he died of natural causes, and Kirillo Budanov, head of the Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, also revealed that his death was due to a blood clot due to natural causes.

Vladimir Putin spoke the name of Alexei Navalny for the first time at a press conference on the results of the presidential elections. He called his death a “sad event.”
“As for Mr. Navalny. Yes, he passed away. This is a sad event. We have had other cases when people in places of deprivation of liberty passed away. Didn't this happen in the USA? It happened more than once,” Putin said.
He also stated that he agreed to his exchange.
“By the way, a few days before Navalny’s passing, some colleagues, not members of the administration, told me that there was an idea to exchange Mr. Navalny for some people who are in prison in Western countries. You can believe me, you can not... The person who spoke to me had not yet finished his sentence, but I said - I agree. But, unfortunately, what happened happened. On one condition I [agreed]: we will change him, but so that he doesn’t come back, let him sit there. But this happens, nothing can be done about it,” Putin said.

Donald Trump on Sunday hemmed and hawed when asked if he blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
“I don’t know, but perhaps, I mean possibly, I could say probably. I don’t know,” Trump told Fox News host Howard Kurtz. “He’s a young man, so statistically he’d be alive for a long time. If you go by the insurance numbers, he’d be alive for another 40 years. So something happened that was unusual.”
Navalny died in a Russian prison camp last month at the age of 47. He had been in and out of prison and house arrest for years, as well as hospitals, as he had survived multiple attempts on his life over that time.
Many Putin critics and world leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden, have blamed Putin for Navalny’s death.
But Trump, a longtime Putin admirer, wouldn’t go that far.
“I don’t know, you certainly can’t say for sure, but certainly that would look like something very bad happened, right?” Trump told Kurtz.

[London Kyodo] The Wall Street Journal said on the 27th that President Putin likely did not directly order the killing of Russian opposition activist Navalny, who died in an Arctic prison in February this year. The U.S. intelligence agency reported that the decision was made.
According to the newspaper, after analyzing the influence on Russia's presidential election held in March and classified information, there is no doubt that Putin was responsible for Navalny's death, but the timing was in line with Putin's wishes. US intelligence agencies have analyzed that this was not the case. This view was shared by the US State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and was also communicated to some European intelligence agencies.
Some European intelligence agencies are skeptical of the US position.
