Russian President Vladimir Putin’s punishment “for all the horrific things” done by his government “will come soon,” the wife of imprisoned dissident Alexei Navalny said after Russia’s authorities announced his death.

“We cannot believe Putin and his government. They are lying constantly,” Yulia Navalnaya said during an impromptu appearance at the Munich Security Conference to explain her uncertainty about whether to believe the report of her husband’s death. “But if it is the truth, I would like Putin and all his staff, everybody around him, his government, his friends: I want them to know that they will be punished for what they have done with our country, with my family, and with my husband.”
