“I assert that Vladimir Putin is responsible for the murder of my husband, Alexei Navalny,” said Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

Axar.az informs, in a YouTube video, she recalled in detail the last letter from her husband, a day before his death in a penal colony in Russia, and his last days in custody, detailing the authorities’ lack of reaction to his first reports of being unwell.

She also showed photographs from inside the cell where he fell ill.

On the video, she explained that “back in February 2024, we were able to obtain and securely transfer biological samples of Alexei abroad,” and “laboratories in at least two countries independently tested those samples.”

“Labs in two different coountries independently concluded: Alexei was killed; namely, poisoned,” she said, without offering further supporting evidence. “I demand that the laboratories that conducted the analyses publish their results,” she said.

“Stop appeasing Putin for some higher ‘considerations’. You cannot placate him. While you stay silent, he doesn’t stop,” she said.
