Russian President Vladimir Putin did not watch the video of opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s widow Yulia Navalny, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today, calling her claims that her husband was poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok unfounded.
When asked about Yulia Navalnyaya’s allegation that Putin killed her husband, Peskov declined to comment because of her recent widowhood.
Nevertheless, the Kremlin spokesman commented that the accusations that Putin was responsible for Navalny’s death are unfounded and abhorrent.
‘He was poisoned with Novichok, Putin killed him’, Navalny’s widow complained.
The allegation that Alexei Navalny, Vladimir Putin’s great political rival in Russia, was poisoned with the substance Novichok was made on Monday afternoon in a video posted on social media by his wife, who said “Vladimir Putin killed my husband”.
“Somewhere in a prison in the Arctic Circle, Putin not only killed Alexei Navalny as a human being, he wanted to kill hope, freedom, our future,” she added in her statement that began with the phrase “Hello I am Yulia Navalny.
Someone else should have been in my place, but he was murdered by Vladimir Putin.
She accused Russia of hiding her husband’s body as, she claimed, what Moscow is waiting for is for traces of the Novichok to disappear from his body.
In the video, the widow Navalny also vows to bring out the names of those involved in her husband’s death and the reason why he breathed his last breath in the “wolf’s prison”.
“I want to live in a free Russia, I want to create a free Russia, I will continue Alexei Navalny’s work,” Yulia Navalnyaya added.
