Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, said that she couldn't 'believe Putin and Putin's government', following reports of her husband's death in a penal colony on Friday, speaking at the Munich Security Conference.
"I don't know whether or not to believe the news, the terrible news that we only get from state sources in Russia, because for years, and you all know this, we can't believe Putin and Putin's government. They're always lying," alleged Navalnaya.
"But if this is true, I want Putin, all of his entourage, Putin's 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. And that day will come very soon," she claimed.
Alexei Navalny's death was reported by Russia's Federal Penitentiary Service on Friday. He was 47. The cause of death had not been released at time of publication.
Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitri Peskov said that the Federal Penitentiary Service was carrying out all 'inspections and inquiries' and refused to comment on speculation that the death could've been due to a 'thrombus detachment' - or blood clot.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed that 'Russia is responsible', while Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky alleged that it was 'obvious' that Vladimir Putin was behind the death. Neither provided any evidence to back their assertions.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that "the instant reaction of NATO leaders to Navalny's death in the form of direct accusations against Russia is self-disclosing."
"There is no forensic examination yet, but the West already has conclusions ready," Zakharova added.
Navalny returned to Moscow in January 2021, after being treated in Germany for an alleged poisoning attempt while on a flight in Russia in August 2020.
He was initially detained at the airport in the Russian capital, and sentenced to two and a half years in jail for a parole violation stemming from a 2014 embezzlement conviction. The politician was subsequently charged with fraud and contempt of court, and given another nine years in prison.
Navalny claimed all accusations against him were politically motivated. In August 2023, he received another 19 years for inciting and financing extremism, among other charges.
