Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny’s anti-corruption group vowed on Thursday to fight on after a court branded it an “extremist” organisation and ordered its closure. Western countries and the European Union were quick to condemn Wednesday’s late-night ruling, but senior Russian officials doubled down, describing Mr. Navalny as an agent collaborating with Washington. The court decision was the latest move against critics of President Vladimir Putin.
