The European Union on Tuesday slammed as "politically motivated" a Russian court ruling extending Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny's imprisonment by nine more years.
"The European Union strongly condemns the ruling... to extend the imprisonment of the Russian opposition politician," the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in a statement.
"We reiterate our call on the Russian authorities for his immediate and unconditional release."
