KYIV, Ukraine, Feb 16, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Ukraine presidential aide Andriy
Yermak on Friday said Russian leader Vladimir Putin is "afraid of any
competition", in comments after the announcement of the death of jailed
Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.

"Putin is the ultimate evil who is afraid of any competition. The lives of
Russians are nothing to him," Yermak wrote on Telegram, adding "everyone who
calls for negotiations must realise that he cannot be trusted. The only
language he understands is force."
