Ukrainian Military Intelligence Chief Kyrylo Budanov confirmed<\/a> that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died due to a blood clot, corroborating Russian officials\u2019 claims. Speaking at the \u2018Ukraine: Year of 2024\u2019 summit on Sunday, Budanov informed reporters, \u201cI may disappoint you, but as far as we know, he indeed died as a result of a blood clot.\u201d<\/p>\n Budanov indicated that the official cause of death provided by the Kremlin had \u201cbeen more or less confirmed,\u201d stressing that his information \u201cwasn\u2019t sourced from the Internet, but, unfortunately, natural [causes].\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Last week, Navalny\u2019s body was released to his mother, Lyudmila. Initially, President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that Navalny, a pro-war ultranationalist who transitioned into a progressive anti-war activist towards the end of his life, was \u201clikely killed by Putin\u201d in the Arctic penal colony where he was serving a prison sentence.<\/p>\n Despite the absence of official results regarding the causes of Navalny\u2019s death, Western leaders hastily attributed blame to Vladimir Putin and escalated tensions in Eastern Europe. Joe Biden asserted Putin\u2019s \u201cresponsibility\u201d for Navalny\u2019s death shortly after initial reports surfaced and subsequently imposed over 500 new sanctions on Russia in retaliation.\u00a0<\/p>\n British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak accused the Kremlin of \u201ckilling\u201d Navalny, echoing his predecessor Boris Johnson\u2019s assertion that there could be \u201cno doubt\u201d the Russian leader had Navalny \u201cput to death.\u201d Hillary Clinton also weighed in, claiming Navalny had \u201cbeen killed,\u201d citing intelligence available to the U.S. government.<\/p>\n https:\/\/x.com\/DavidSacks\/status\/1762042386606358742?s=20<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
