"It comes as no surprise that Yulia Navalnaya picked up the torch of fighting against tyranny of the Russian state. She was highly involved in Navalny's political activities and stands firmly on her own. Her brave decision also gives hope to the discouraged Russian society. ❗@yulia_navalnaya announced that she will continue Alexei's work.

"I believe that killing Navalny will cause the opposite effect of the one Putin and his siloviki were expecting. It will actually make aid to Ukraine easier and will further damage the position of Kremlin apologists and appeasers in the various political systems across the West"
