Alexei Navalny's wife in tears, says Putin will not go unpunished

The world has been shocked by Alexei Navalny's death. The widow of Russian critic of the Kremlin, Alexei Navalny, stated that if the death declared by the Russian prison service on Friday is confirmed, then Russian President Vladimir Putin and his cronies will face consequences.

Yulia Navalnaya expressed her skepticism regarding the news of her husband's passing during her speech at the Munich Security Conference, citing the fact that it originated from Russian government sources.

“I thought about what Alexey would have done. If it is the truth, I'd like Putin to know that he will be brought to justice soon,” she said while speaking at the conference.

"We cannot trust Putin and the Putin government. They always lie," said Navalnaya.

"But if this is true, I want Putin, his entire entourage, Putin's friends, his government to know that they will bear responsibility for what they did to our country, to my family, to my husband. And this day will come very soon."

She further called for the unity of the international community against what she called Russia's "horrible regime".
"Both this regime and Vladimir Putin must bear personal responsibility for all the terrible things they have been doing to my country, to our country, Russia, in recent years," she said.

The most powerful opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Russia, Alexei Navalny, passed away on Friday following a stroll at the "Polar Wolf" Arctic prison colony, where he was serving a three-decade term, according to authorities.
