Yulia Navalnaya's Speech on Husband Alexei Navalny's Death Reports

Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of Alexei Navalny, neither confirmed nor denied the death of the political figure during her speech at a conference in Munich.

“You have probably all seen the terrible news today. I thought for a long time about whether to come out here or flee straight to my children. But then I thought about what Alexei would do in my place. And I am confident that he would be here. He would be on this stage.

I don’t know whether to believe or not the terrible news we only receive from Russian state sources. For many years, and you all know this, we cannot trust Putin and his government. They always lie.

If this is true, I want Putin, all the people around him, his friends, and his government to know that they will be held accountable for what they have done to our country, to my family, and to my husband. That day will come very soon.

I want to call on the entire global community, everyone in this room, people all over the world, to unite and defeat this evil. We have defeated the terrible regime that is now in Russia. Both this regime and Vladimir Putin must bear personal responsibility for all the terrible things they have done to our country, Russia, in recent years.”

Earlier, it was reported that Alexei Navalny has died.
