Navalny supported the Russian intervention in Georgia.
While he acknowledged that annexation of Crimea was unlawful, he stated that when he becomes president, he will not return Crimea back to Kiev.


Crimea:

Navalny advised Ukrainians not to deceive themselves: "Crimea will remain part of Russia and will never become part of Ukraine again in the foreseeable future".

He also said that when he becomes president of the Russian Federation, he will not return the semi-island to Kyiv: "Crimea is what, a sandwich with sausage to be returned here and there?", - Navalny asked.

Georgia:

"The Georgian public felt betrayed by Navalny after the 2008 Russo-Georgian war," says Kornely Kakachia, Political Science Professor at Tbilisi State University.

"Everyone expected Navalny to be anti-Putin and anti-imperialist, but he supported the invasion."
