The European Parliament has issued a strong condemnation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of the murder of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Navalny, who was serving a politically motivated sentence in a prison in the Arctic Circle, recently died under suspicious circumstances.
The Parliament called for an independent and transparent international investigation into Navalny’s death, demanding that accountability and justice be ensured in this case. They also urged the Russian authorities to allow Navalny’s relatives to hold a peaceful funeral for him in Moscow.
The European Parliament’s statement was supported by leaders from around the world, including French President Emmanuel Macron, American President Joe Biden, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. They all pointed fingers at Putin for Navalny’s death and called for immediate explanations from Russia.
Navalny’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya, expressed gratitude for the support but warned that traditional measures such as resolutions and sanctions may not be effective in dealing with Putin. She described Putin as a “monster” who must be confronted with innovative approaches.
The international community has been quick to denounce Putin for Navalny’s death, with many calling for justice and accountability in this tragic case.
