A lawsuit filed by the mother of the late Russian opposition figure, Alexei Navalny, alleging inadequate medical care during his time in the Arctic penal colony where he passed away, has been dismissed. The court in the town of Labytnangi, near the penal colony, rejected the suit, citing Navalny's absence as the plaintiff. Ivan Zhdanov, a former aide to Navalny, expressed dismay over the decision, highlighting Navalny's history of filing lawsuits regarding medical care in prisons. The dismissal, Zhdanov noted, comes with a tone of mockery, given Navalny's tragic demise.

President Putin's Victory Day address emphasised Russia's resilience and commitment to its armed forces amidst ongoing conflicts, including in Ukraine. However, this year's parade featured only one tank, symbolising Russia's military presence. Putin also criticised Western nations for colonial policies, while the parade showcased a display of nuclear warheads and various weapons systems.
