“We can’t trust Putin and Putin’s government. They always lie,” Navalnaya said solemnly and tearfully.
Following the shocking death of Alexei Navalny, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most vocal critic, his wife said that if Navalny’s death, which was confirmed by the Russian prison service, is confirmed, Putin and his allies will not be spared.
Speaking at the Munich security conference, Yulia Navalnaya said she was skeptical of the news of her husband’s death because it came from Russian government sources.
“We cannot trust Putin and the Putin government. They always lie,” said Navalnaya, solemn and tearful.
She added, “But if it is true, I want Putin, his entire entourage, Putin’s friends, his government to know that they will take responsibility for what they have done to our country, to my family, to my husband . And this day will come very soon.”
The Kremlin critic’s wife also called on the international community to unite against Russia’s “terrible regime.”
“Both this regime and Vladimir Putin must bear personal responsibility for all the terrible things that have been done to my country, to our country, to Russia in recent years,” he said.
