Yulia, the wife of leading Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who was officially announced to have died in a Russian prison today, said at the Munich Security Conference that Russian President Vladimir Putin is "personally responsible for all the terrible things" in that country.
Yuliya Navalny spoke about the decision she had to make about whether to stay in Munich and speak, or to immediately return to her children.
She decided to do what her husband would have done - speak at a conference.
She said she did not know whether to believe the "terrible news" about the death of her imprisoned husband, but, "if it is true, I want Putin and everyone around him to know that they will answer for everything they have done to our country, to my family. And that day will come very soon" - reported the London newspaper "The Guardian".
Navalny called on the international community to "come together and punish the terrible regime" in Russia.
Alexei Navalny's mother, Lyudmila Navalny, last saw her son in prison on Monday and he was "healthy and cheerful," she told Russia's independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta.
"I don't want condolences. I saw my son in prison on February 12, we were visiting. He was alive, healthy and cheerful," she said.
