Navalny’s Widow Accuses Putin of Poisoning ‘the Father of My Children,’ Vows to Continue Husband’s Fight

Deceased Russian dissident Alexei Navalny’s widow is promising to continue his fight against Russian president Vladimir Putin’s regime.

Yulia Navalnaya accused Putin in a video message of having her husband poisoned with Novichok — a powerful nerve agent that’s been used by the Putin regime to murder other dissidents — before withholding his body for days in order to conceal evidence of the poisoning.

“Putin killed the father of my children. Putin took away the most precious thing I had, the closest and most beloved person,” Navalnya said.

“We know why Putin killed Alexei three days ago, we will tell you about it soon,” she continued. “But the main thing we can do for Alexei and for ourselves is to continue to fight. I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny, continue to fight for our country, and I urge you to stand next to me.”
