"Last Saturday marked two years since Putin launched a full-scale war against Ukraine. A treacherous, despicable one. The whole world rushed to help Ukraine. But now two years have passed, a lot of fatigue, a lot of blood, a lot of frustration, and Putin still hasn't gone anywhere," the politician's widow said.
But, according to her, neither weapons, nor money, nor sanctions - do not work.
"And then Putin killed my husband, Alexei Navalny," Navalnaya said.
"On the one hand, I can see that everyone has experienced shock, the oppositionist's widow said. But on the other hand, I see huge confusion."
"It seems to many people that Putin cannot be defeated at all. And in desperation they are now asking me: how can I help you?" - she said in a speech to the European Parliament.
According to her, "it is impossible to hurt Putin with one more resolution or one more package of sanctions."
"Putin is the head of an organized gang. Putin is the head of an organized criminal gang. It includes poisoners and other murderers. Putin killed my husband Alexei Navalny. On his orders, Alexei was tortured for three years. He was starved in a tiny cell, cut off from the outside world and deprived of visits. Afterward, they abused his body and his mother. Putin is capable of anything. It is impossible to agree with him," Navalnaya said.
Navalnaya urged MEPs to "use those methods that are used to fight organized crime, not political competition"

The Russian capital faced one of the largest terrorist attacks in its history. The terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, which claimed the lives of many innocent people, was the second largest after the Beslan tragedy.
