Zakharova told foreign politicians who criticize the arrest of Navalny, who was arrested at the Moscow airport, to respect international law and Russian law, and to deal with their problems.
It came after Jake Sullivan, whom Joe Biden intends to appoint as National Security Advisor, called for Navalny's immediate release.
"As for Sullivan (and other foreign officials who publish pre-prepared comments): respect international law, do not encroach on the national legislation of a sovereign state and deal with the problems in your country," Zakharova wrote on Facebook, as reported by Sputnik.
Other world officials also reacted to the news of Navalny's arrest, including the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, who assessed that the arrest of the Russian oppositionist was inadmissible and called on the Russian authorities to release him.
Arrested after arriving in Moscow
Russian opposition politician, the outspoken Kremlin critic, Alexei Navalny, landed at the Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow, after which he was detained.
The Bureau for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions announced that Navalny will be in prison until the next court decision.
The service announced that an arrest warrant was issued for Navalny on December 29, 2020, for "multiple violations of the rules" while he was on probation.

You people should change your song. Its always doom doom for Putin. In the last elections in Russia Navalny got less than 2% of the entire vote so I have no idea where this great deal of support comes from. Where is he going to go? The west has no use for him. He only value is death for them.
Well, if I was you, I’d stay away from Sputnik and wait for Pfizer or Moderna which have proven their worth. So far Pfizer has 32 deaths in Norway, 12 in Sweden, 35 in the US on the first day plus 1380 rushed to emergency, over a dozen suffer from facial paralysis in Israel. Meanwhile in California authorities have stopped using Moderna due to unexplained “incidents”.
Now I’d stop being concerned about Russia and worry more about Kosova. Why isn’t Albania out there help their people. Belgrade is doing just that. Where is your beloved US?

This is the beginning of the end of Putin. Navalny has a great deal of support within Russia, why else would he return to Russia when he knew he would be arrested. Now that Russia is inundated
with the covid-19 virus and the Sputnik V vaccine has not proven to be both safe and effective, a humanitarian disaster is surely looming in Russia.

Unfortunately the U.S can't keep their big mouths closed.
They have an answer for everything.
They huff and puff,pointing their finger at another nation whilst distracting the world as they committ crimes of every nature!!!
One day very soon they will realise they are not the U.S they once were. Their own people are internally fighting amongst themselves. Please continue as a good American politician is one that sleeps with the worms.
