人权

President Biden said he told Putin that "human rights is always going to be on the table."

I made it clear to President Putin, and will continue to raise issues of fundamental human rights, because that's what we are. That's who we are."

拜登称他告诉普京，“人权问题永远摆在桌面上。”拜登说：“我向他指出，这就是我们为何将对阿列克谢·纳瓦尔尼等案件提出我们的担忧。我向普京总统明确表示过，并将继续提出基本人权问题，因为这就是我们，我们就是这样的人。”

The opposition leader came close to death.

普京没有提到纳瓦尔尼的名字，他说：“这名男子知道他违反了俄罗斯的法律，他已两次被判有罪。”普京称纳瓦尔尼无视法律，也明知如果他从德国返回俄罗斯会发生什么。纳瓦尔尼在中毒后被送往德国的一家医院。这位反对派领导人险些丧命。
