(Adnkronos) – Yulia Navalnaya acknowledges that the opposition has no plan to end Vladimir Putin’s regime but stresses “the need to at least do something to accelerate its downfall.” In an interview with Dozhd Tv ahead of the demonstration of exiled Russians abroad organized in Berlin by Navalnaya, along with the other two leading opposition figures abroad, Vladimir Kara-Murza and Ilya Yashin, released and taken abroad as part of a prisoner exchange between Russia and the United States last summer, Navalnaya explained that “a plan will come in the future, but it may take time.”
“I believe in the beautiful Russia of the future,” she added, citing one of her husband’s slogans, whose responsibilities she assumed in leading the political movement he had founded, after his death in prison last February. “We cannot leave a murderer and war criminal in charge of our country. We will win.” The aim of the demonstration is “to show that many are against the war and against Putin,” to demand the withdrawal of Russian soldiers from Ukraine and to stop the bombing of civilians and cities. The Russian President today called opposition figures “people monstrously detached from their country, which their country does not need.”
