Alexei Navalny’s widow Yulia Navalnaya released a video blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin for her husband’s death by poisoning him with the nerve agent Novichok; she’s vowing to continue her husband’s work.
According to The New York Post, “In a powerful nine-minute address posted on Navalny’s official YouTube channel Monday, Yulia Navalnaya directly blamed Putin for the death of her ‘children’s father”’ — and said she knew why he was killed on Friday while serving time at a notoriously brutal Arctic penal colony.”
“We know exactly why Putin killed Alexei three days ago,” Navalnaya said. “We will tell you about it soon. We will definitely find out who exactly carried out this crime and how exactly. We will name the names and show the faces.”
“Vladimir Putin killed my husband,” Navalnaya said.
“By killing Alexei, Putin killed half of me — half of my heart and half of my soul. But I still have the other half, and it tells me that I have no right to give up.
“I will continue Alexei Navalny’s work. I will continue to fight for our country. And I encourage you to stand by my side,” she added.
