Details: Navalnaya expressed surprise when "a group of Ukrainian participants at Web Summit" asked her if she supported the war against Ukraine.
Quote: "Seriously? You’re asking me that?.. I am fighting against Putin's regime and against the war. I believe these things are interconnected," she posted, referencing her late husband’s anti-Putin and anti-war stance.
Navalnaya also pointed out that "we [meaning both Navalnaya and Ukrainians – ed.] have the same enemy".
"And Ukrainians should not invent an enemy in the person of the Russian opposition," she concluded.
Background:
- As reported by European Pravda, during the Web Summit 2024 conference in Lisbon, Ukrainian activists turned on the sound of an air-raid warning and chanted "Stop Russia" during a speech by Yulia Navalnaya. The organisers had invited her to the conference as a "powerful voice for democracy and human rights".
- Yulia Navalnaya announced her political ambitions in Russia following her husband's death in a Russian penal colony earlier this year and has since engaged in meetings with foreign leaders.
