On this episode of the United Security podcast, Lisa Monaco and Ken Wainstein discuss the allegations that Putin ordered the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and what it says about the state of contemporary Russia—Putin’s use of violence to quash dissent, the appropriate U.S. response, and the possible connections of this incident to the popular uprising in Belarus.  

The United Security podcast is produced by CAFE Studios.
