Alexei Navalny’s widow vows to continue his fight against Putin

Alexei Navalny’s widow vowed Monday to continue her husband’s work after his death, and take on Russian President Vladimir Putin, Politico reports.

“I will continue Alexei Navalny’s cause and fight for our country. I urge you to stand by me,” Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of politician Alexei Navalny, declared in a video address.

“There should be another in my place — but they were murdered by Vladimir Putin,” she added.

At the Munich Security Conference on Friday, shortly after Navalny’s death in a penal colony was announced, Yulia Navalnaya accused Putin of murdering her husband.

“Putin had a specific reason for killing Alexei three days ago, which we will reveal soon. We’ll identify those responsible for this crime, naming them and showing their faces,” she stated on Monday.

“Putin aimed not just to kill Alexei — but to extinguish our hope, freedom, and future. I’ve supported Alexei throughout the years — but today, I stand by you, understanding your loss is no less significant than mine,” Yulia Navalnaya said.
