Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a colony, saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin was behind it.

"As it has just become known, Alexei Navalny has died in a Russian prison. It is obvious: he was killed by Putin, like thousands of others subject to torture and tortured by this one 'creature," he said at a press conference with the Federal Chancellor of Germany in Berlin.

According to Zelenskyy, "Putin always kills – he himself is a war. He will not stop, he can only be stopped. And only by everyone together. In cooperation."

"Putin doesn't care who dies – as long as he maintains his position. And that is why he should not save anything. Putin must lose everything, must lose everything and answer for what he has done," the President of Ukraine said.
