‘Putin Is Responsible for Navalny’s Death,’ Says Biden

Make no mistake. Make no mistake. Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death. Putin is responsible. What has happened to Navalny is yet more proof of Putin’s brutality. No one should be fooled. Not in Russia, not at home, not anywhere in the world. Putin does not only target citizens of other countries, as we’ve seen in what’s going on in Ukraine right now, he also inflicts terrible crimes on his own people. And as people across Russia and around the world are mourning Navalny today, because he was so many things that Putin was not. He was brave. He was principled. He was dedicated to building a Russia where the rule of law existed and where it applied to everybody. Navalny believed in that Russia — that Russia. He knew it was a cause worth fighting for, and obviously even dying for.
