Navalny Poisoning: Widow Demands Transparency
Yulia Navalnaya, widow of Alexei Navalny, demands international labs release poisoning findings after her husband's death in Russian prison. She believes Navalny was poisoned and accuses President Putin of being responsible, which the Kremlin denies. Navalny had previously survived a 2020 Novichok poisoning.

In a profound accusation, Yulia Navalnaya stated Wednesday that two independent laboratories confirmed her husband, Alexei Navalny, was poisoned before his death in a Russian prison. Navalny, an ardent Kremlin critic, passed away while serving a politically charged 19-year sentence.
Navalnaya emphasized both labs withheld their findings, citing 'political considerations.' Repeatedly accusing President Vladimir Putin of orchestrating her husband's demise, her demands for transparency remain unanswered by the Kremlin, which has denied any involvement in Navalny's death.
Navalny's previous exposure to the nerve agent Novichok in 2020 further underscores suspicion, as Yulia disputes Russia's official explanation attributing his death to natural causes. Her pursuit for clarity continues amidst ongoing international scrutiny.
