Russian President Vladimir Putin is speaking at the Davos Agenda, a virtual event organized by the World Economic Forum.

The issue comes amid protests from the international community over the arrest of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The protests took place across Russia on Saturday, and were mainly in support of Navalny, a prominent anti-corruption activist and critic of Putin.

Navalny was arrested on January 17 immediately after his return from Germany to Russia, where he had been treated after a nerve agent poisoning last August. Putin was accused of being behind the poisoning; the Kremlin denies any involvement.
