KYIV (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday that Russians who vote for President Vladimir Putin at elections next month should realize that they are voting for a murderer.
Russian authorities reported earlier on Friday that jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny had died in custody.
“The events tell (us) that Putin is a murderer and this is not rhetoric,” Zelenskiy told a news conference in Paris, commenting on Navalny’s death. “And this is not a signal. It is absolutely obvious he is a murderer and there are no secrets (here).”
