President Biden Holds Putin Responsible for Navalny’s Death
President Joe Biden firmly placed the blame on Russian President Vladimir Putin for the tragic death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a remote Arctic prison. Navalny, a vocal critic of Putin, was serving a 19-year sentence on “extremism” charges when he fell ill and ultimately lost his life.
During a press conference at the White House, Biden commended Navalny for his courage in standing up against corruption and violence perpetrated by Putin. He highlighted the fact that Navalny had been poisoned, arrested, and falsely prosecuted, yet remained an unwavering voice against Putin’s lies.
Biden emphasized that Putin bears full responsibility for Navalny’s demise, calling it a testament to Putin’s brutality. He warned against being deceived by the Russian authorities’ narrative and stressed that Putin’s crimes extend beyond targeting foreign citizens to inflicting harm on his own people.
Using Navalny’s tragic death as a platform, Biden also took the opportunity to criticize Republicans, urging the House of Representatives to pass his foreign aid bill to support Ukraine.

Furthermore, the 81-year-old president criticized former President Donald Trump for his remarks regarding NATO and Russia, urging everyone to reject Trump’s dangerous statements that seemingly invited Russia to invade NATO allies.
Navalny’s imprisonment in 2021 followed his return to Moscow from Germany, where he had been receiving treatment for poisoning with a nerve agent attributed to the Kremlin. While the Kremlin denies any involvement, U.S. intelligence officials believe Russia is responsible.
Throughout his political career, Navalny faced numerous criminal charges, which he claimed were politically motivated due to his opposition to Putin. He established the Anti-Corruption Foundation, which was dissolved in Russia in 2021, to expose corruption among high-ranking officials and challenge the dominance of the United Russia Party.
