Not sure I remember the source, but even Navalny was not against Russia’s war to get its buffer zones back. Of course, if Navalny was able to magically overthrow Putin, it’d be harder for a democratic regime to fight an offensive war because no one wants to personally participate in a war.

Not sure about downvotes, but Navalny was definitely against bringing back Crimea to Ukraine.
In his own words: "Crimea is not a pastry to pass from hands to hands". After it becomes clear that "3 day" invasion of Ukraine is unsuccessful he changed his mind. But only after it, not before.

The last one is pure fantasy. He made a statement on the first day of the war and was strongly against it from the start.
And where this statement in this article? Are you lying?
He against the war sure, but show me where he mentioned returning Crimea to Ukraine.
Yeah, he openly said that he accepts the Crimea annexation - which is a part of Putins strategy of reviving the Russian empire.

Putin has exactly one strategy: to remain in power. The revival of the empire has absolutely nothing to do with this. The annexation of Crimea was needed not to revive the empire, but to discredit the idea of revolution in Ukraine that happend in 2014. The war in Ukraine - is the price for the revolution that Putin forced Ukraine to pay, because if the revolution does not have a price, the revolution will happen in Russia

You know, the further this goes on, the less difference I see between both sides. Most people on both sides are brainwashed to the core and are unable to think critically regardless of the country they live in. If you lived in Russia, you would be just another Putin's supporter, trust me. Before accusing me of "lying" and the dead man of something he never did, please reread your own comment carefully, then show the same consideration to my reply. I'm done here.

When accussed of lying - attack your accuser. Are you russian?
>Navalny was definitely against bringing back Crimea to Ukraine.
This is a classic liberal position. You just can't give away a piece of the country against the will of people who lives there, no matter international law or what else.
>After it becomes clear that "3 day" invasion of Ukraine is unsuccessful As far as I am aware of, Navalny always consistently opposed agression against Ukraine, from the very start, including the annexation of Crimea
