Putin blamed after death of jailed Kremlin critic Navalny
-
Alexei Navalny, Putin's longtime political opponent, died in a Russian prison camp earlier this month at age 47. The U.S. holds Putin responsible.
-
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Navalny's death shows Putin's weakness, not strength, since he had to imprison and silence Navalny.
-
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said it's "obvious" Putin killed Navalny, who fought Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
-
Navalny's body was handed to his mother and wife after initial refusals for a public funeral. His spokeswoman said funeral details are still undecided.
-
Sullivan said any mother deserves the funeral she'd like for her child. Navalny's mother should decide, not Russian policy.
