Navalny's widow accuses Putin of killing him
Alexei Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya accuses President Vladimir Putin of killing her husband and promises to "name names and show faces" of those she claims are responsible for his death, three days after Navalny died in an Arctic prison. Her video address comes as the Kremlin said an investigation into his death was "ongoing" and his mother Lyudmila was denied access to his body for a third day.

00:00 Today, for the first time on this channel, I want to address you.
00:05 I shouldn't have been in this place.
00:08 I shouldn't have recorded this video.
00:11 There should be another person in my place.
00:14 But this person was killed by Vladimir Putin.

00:32 But Putin also took away Navalny from you.
00:35 Somewhere in a colony in the Far North, beyond the Arctic Circle, in the eternal winter,
00:40 Putin did not just kill Alexei Navalny's man.
00:43 He, along with him, wanted to kill our hope, our freedom, our future.
00:51 To destroy and bring to nothing the best evidence that Russia can be different.

01:13 We will definitely find out who and how exactly committed this crime.
01:20 We will name the names and show their faces.
01:23 But the main thing we can do for Alexei and for ourselves is to continue fighting.
01:30 More desperate, more furious than before.
01:33 I know, it seems that it is no longer possible.
