Yulia Navalnaya reacts to criticism from the Kremlin after her highly regarded video speech - with once again very clear words.
Brussels/Moscow - After the death of Kremlin opponent Alexei Navalny, who was imprisoned in a penal camp beyond the Arctic Circle, it still seems unclear what happened or will happen to his body.
Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya has a clear wish in this regard, as she said on the social media platform
X (formerly Twitter) emphasized.
She now reacted clearly to the Kremlin's criticism of her person.
Navalnaya: Kremlin reaction to her video “doesn’t matter”
On her X channel, Navalnaya reacts to statements by Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
He had massively criticized a video of the human rights activist that had been viewed millions of times.
Peskov spoke of “filthy and absolutely unfounded accusations against the Russian head of state.”
In the clip in question, Navalnaya announced that she would continue her husband's work.
She also blamed Putin for her husband's death and announced that she would publish the names of the murderers.

The 47-year-old now replied to Peskov's statements: "I don't care what the murderer's spokesman says about my words." Instead, she demands in the direction of the Kremlin: "Give Alexei's body back and let us give him a dignified burial - stop him people don’t remember saying goodbye to him.”
Navalny's widow's X channel has now been blocked
Navalnaya's X account was apparently temporarily blocked on Tuesday (February 20) and was not accessible, at least for visitors.
The message that appeared on the account that was set up just the day before said: “Account blocked.
X blocks accounts that violate our rules." The channel was activated again on the same day - according to
The error was corrected after it was noticed.
Regarding the delivery of Navalny's body, there is still complete uncertainty for Yulia Navalnaya as well as Alexey Navalny's team and mother.
The Russian authorities want to keep the body of the man who died under still unclear circumstances under lock and key for at least 14 days in order to carry out “chemical tests” on it.
Navalny spokeswoman Kira Yarmysch also reported this on
