Navalny fell unconscious and died on Friday after a walk at the “Polar Wolf” penal colony in Kharp, about 1,900 kilometers (1,200 miles) northeast of Moscow, Russia’s prison service said. Germany’s Foreign Ministy also announced that the Russian ambassador in Berlin had been summoned over Navalny’s death. A ministry spokesperson said in a press conference that a meeting with the Russian ambassador was to take place on Monday. The Kremlin has denied involvement in Navalny’s death and dismissed claims that Putin was responsible as unacceptable. Will the sanctions work against Moscow ?
