Sa phost sin, tá sé i bhfeighil ar threoshuíomhanna polaitiúla inmheánacha a cheapadh agus a chur chun feidhme. Ceapadh Andrei Yarin freisin sa tascfhórsa laistigh den Presidential Executive Office agus ba é ról an tascfhórsa tionchar Alexei Navalny i sochaí na Rúise a chomhrac lena n-áirítear trí oibríochtaí a bhí ceaptha chun míchlú a tharraingt air. Tá ciapadh agus cos ar bolg déanta ar Alexei Navalny ag gníomhaithe an Stáit agus ag gníomhaithe breithiúnacha i gCónaidhm na Rúise toisc an róil lárnaigh atá aige sa fhreasúra polaitiúil. 15.10.2020 Rinne údaráis Chónaidhm na Rúise faireachán géar ar ghníomhaíochtaí Alexei Navalny agus é ag taisteal go dtí an tSibéir i mí Lúnasa 2020. An 20 Lúnasa 2020, d’éirigh sé go dona tinn agus tugadh chun an ospidéil in Omsk, Cónaidhm na Rúise é. An 22 Lúnasa 2020, aistríodh chuig ospidéal i mBeirlín, sa Ghearmáin é. D’aimsigh sainsaotharlann sa Ghearmáin fianaise shoiléir ina dhiaidh sin, fianaise ar chomhthacaigh saotharlanna sa Fhrainc agus sa tSualainn léi, go ndearnadh Alexei Navalny a nimhiú le hoibreán néaróg tocsaineach de chuid an ghrúpa Novichok. Níl rochtain ag aon dream seachas údaráis Stáit i gCónaidhm na Rúise ar an oibreán tocsaineach sin. Sna himthosca sin, tá sé réasúnta a rá nárbh fhéidir Alexei Navalny a nimhiú ach amháin le toil an Presidential Executive Office. I bhfianaise a róil shinsearaigh ceannaireachta san Oifig sin, tá Andrei Yarin freagrach, dá bhrí sin, as tacaíocht a spreagadh agus a chur ar fáil do na daoine sin a nimhigh Alexei Navalny nó a raibh baint acu lena nimhiú le hoibreán néaróg Novichok, agus is ionann sin agus úsáid arm ceimiceach faoin gCoinbhinsiún um Airm Cheimiceacha. 11.

Is é Sergei Menyailo Ceann North Ossetia-Alania. Bhí sé ina Ionadaí Lánchumhachtach d’Uachtarán an Russian Federation don Siberian Federal District idir 2016 agus mí Aibreáin 2021. Sa cháil sin, bhí sé freagrach as cur chun feidhme chumhachtaí bunreachtúla an Uachtaráin a áirithiú, lena n-áirítear beartas intíre agus eachtrach an Stáit a chur chun feidhme. Bhí Sergei Menyailo ina chomhalta den Security Council of the Russian Federation go dtí mí Lúnasa 2021. Dhírigh gníomhaithe Stáit agus gníomhaithe breithiúnacha ciapadh agus diansmacht córasach ar Alexei Navalny i ngeall ar an ról tábhachtach a bhí aige sa fhreasúra polaitiúil. Rinne údaráis Chónaidhm na Rúise dlúthfhaireachán ar ghníomhaíochtaí Alexei Navalny le linn a thurais go dtí an tSibéir i mí Lúnasa 2020. An 20 Lúnasa 2020, buaileadh go dona tinn é agus tugadh isteach in ospidéal é in Omsk i gCónaidhm na Rúise. An 22 Lúnasa 2020, tugadh go hospidéal é i mBeirlín na Gearmáine. Ina dhiaidh sin, d’aimsigh sainsaotharlann sa Ghearmáin fianaise shoiléir, lenar chomhthacaigh saotharlanna sa Fhrainc agus sa tSualainn freisin, gur nimhíodh Alexei Navalny le néar-oibreán tocsaineach de chuid an ghrúpa Novichok. Is ag údaráis Stáit i gCónaidhm na Rúise amháin atá rochtain ar an oibreán tocsaineach sin. Sna cúinsí sin, tá sé réasúnta a mheas nach bhféadfaí Alexei Navalny a nimhiú ach amháin le toiliú ó Oifig Feidhmiúcháin an Uachtaráin. Dá bhrí sin, i bhfianaise a róil shinsearaigh cheannaireachta mar iar-ionadaí na hOifige sin sa Siberian Federal District, tá Sergei Menyailo freagrach as spreagadh agus tacaíocht a thabhairt do na daoine a nimhigh Alexei Navalny nó a raibh baint acu lena nimhiú leis an néar-oibreán Novichok, agus is ionann sin agus arm ceimiceach a úsáid faoin gCoinbhinsiún maidir le hAirm Cheimiceacha. 15.10.2020 ▼M4 13.

Tá ciapadh agus cos ar bolg déanta ar Alexei Navalny ag gníomhaithe an Stáit agus ag gníomhaithe breithiúnacha i gCónaidhm na Rúise toisc an róil lárnaigh atá aige sa fhreasúra polaitiúil.

Níl rochtain ag aon dream seachas údaráis Stáit i gCónaidhm na Rúise ar an oibreán tocsaineach sin. 15.10.2020 Sna himthosca sin, agus é á chur san áireamh go raibh faireachas á dhéanamh ar Alexei Navalny tráth a nimhithe, tá sé réasúnta a rá nárbh fhéidir an nimhiú a dhéanamh mura mbeadh an Federal Security Service rannpháirteach. I bhfianaise a róil shinsearaigh ceannaireachta sa Federal Security Service, tá Aleksandr Bortnikov freagrach, dá bhrí sin, as tacaíocht a chur ar fáil do na daoine sin a nimhnigh Alexei Navalny nó a raibh baint acu lena nimhiú le hoibreán néaróg Novichok, agus is ionann sin agus úsáid arm ceimiceach faoin gCoinbhinsiún um Airm Cheimiceacha. 14.
