Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking during a press conference in Paris, said that the death of Russian opposition politician Alexey Navalny is proof that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a murderer:
Today’s events show that Putin is a murderer. And this is just not some indication. It’s absolutely clear that he’s a murderer, and there are no more secrets about it. It’s a statement of fact, a very clear signal that can be conveyed to leaders — that we’re witnessing a murderer running for elections. People who vote for him must clearly understand that they’re voting for a murderer and will be choosing a murderer as their president. And people who currently have economic ties with this person must understand that they’re profiting — regardless of their leadership level — from blood money because they have contracts with a murderer. And people who congratulate the president on his victory after the elections must know that they’re legitimizing a murderer.
People in Russia need us more than ever now. Help us to continue our work.
