MOSCOW, Aug 20 — German Chancellor Angela Merkel will visit Russia’s Vladimir Putin today on the anniversary of a nerve-agent attack on now-jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who received life-saving treatment in Berlin.

In what will be Merkel’s final visit to Russia, her aides have made clear that the timing of the meeting is not accidental. Merkel, who will travel to Russia’s rival Ukraine after visiting Putin, is also expected to discuss major international issues with the Kremlin chief, who infrequently receives Western visitors in Moscow.

His organisation was banned as “extremist” and his allies have faced criminal charges, forcing some to leave Russia. In a letter from jail published in European newspapers yesterday, Navalny urged Western leaders to challenge Putin directly and impose personal sanctions on his entourage. The German leader will also travel to Ukraine on Sunday, where she will meet President Volodymyr Zelensky as tension continues over Moscow’s troop build-up on Ukraine’s borders.
