supported by US intelligence networks.<\/p>\n<p>Russia is under mounting international pressure, with the US saying it will be &#8220;held accountable&#8221; if he dies.<\/p>\n<p>Putin is already embroiled in a diplomatic crisis over the build-up of troops on the border with Ukraine, with US warships deployed to the Black Sea amid fears of war in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Navalny&#8217;s doctor, Yaroslav Ashikhmin, yesterday warned on\u00a0Facebook: &#8220;Our patient could die at any moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said he and Anastasiya Vasilyeva, head of the Alliance of Doctors union, were refused entry to the prison in Pokrov where Navalny is being kept.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday US US national security adviser Jake Sullivan warned there would be &#8220;consequences if Mr Navalny dies&#8221;, telling CNN that Russia would be &#8220;held accountable by the international community&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Navalny&#8217;s allies said at the weekend his life was hanging by a thread, and announced plans for what they hope will be the largest protests in modern Russian history on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Navalny has said prison authorities are threatening to put him in a straitjacket to force-feed him.<\/p>\n<p>The EU&#8217;s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, said: &#8220;We make the Russian authorities responsible for the health situation of Mr Navalny.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Manfred Weber, who lead&#8217;s the European Parliament&#8217;s biggest grouping, the European People&#8217;s Party, said: &#8220;Act now, or the blood of Mr Navalny will forever be on your hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n<p>Russian authorities accuse him of exaggerating his medical condition to grab attention, and of refusing prison medical care.<\/p>\n<p>They have pledged to ensure he survives.<\/p>\n<p>Navalny travelled to Germany last August for treatment after being poisoned by a nerve agent in an attack he blamed on Putin.<\/p>\n<p>The Kremlin has said it has seen no evidence he was poisoned and has denied any Russian role if he was.<\/p>\n<p>He was arrested in January when he returned to Russia and jailed for two-and-a-half years in February for parole violations he said were fabricated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"social-follow\" data-mod=\"socialFollow\" data-observed=\"false\">\n<div id=\"social-methods\">\n<div
