"Russian Putin critic and blogger detained, New Jersey sues NYC over congestion pricing, and Putin's purge of allies revealed"
TL;DR Summary
Russian authorities have detained Igor Strelkov, a hardline nationalist critic of Russia's military campaign in Ukraine. Strelkov, a former FSB intelligence colonel, played a key role in Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and led Russia's proxy army in the war in eastern Ukraine. He has been charged with appealing for extremist activity and could face five years in jail. Strelkov's criticism of military failings and President Vladimir Putin has become more vocal recently. His detention is seen as a sign of an "active phase of internal confrontation" within the Kremlin.
