Navalny‘s top employee criticizes Russian missile strike on Ukraine because… it is ineffective and costly. Not because it has killed civilians and is a part of a genocidal war. This is the core of Navalny’s logic: his is in favor of imperial wars as long as they are „effective“. 
Navalny used the worst anti-Ukrainian slur „khokhly“ amid the Donbas war in 2014 and cared about how Russian army could kill Ukrainian soldiers without being exposed to world attention:
In 2021, Navalny urged to vote for the Communists on parliamentary “elections”: one of the most crazy war parties in Russia, which called to “fight Ukrainian Nazis” (this is a post-elections poster, but the same calls were typical and endemic for the communists).
Navalny’s press-secretary Kira Yarmysh tweets, that “the most terrible” thing related to Moskva cruiser is “not that it has sunk, but that we do not know how many of the crew have died”. No mentioning of the fact that this cruiser was a part of the war machine killing Ukrainians.
This imperial chauvinism is endemic among Russian Putin-critics. Here the founder of very brave and important anti-torture project GulaguNet is fierce about… Moskva was not usedIN A PROPER WAY with mighty missiles, was exposed to attack, and there were no condolences to the crew
