Former US President Donald Trump made his first public comment on the death of Russia’s most prominent opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a social media post on Monday. While the Western governments have slammed Putin over Navalny’s sudden death, Trump, in his post, cast no blame on the Russian president.
“The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country,” Trump wrote, reported Reuters.

“It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction. Open Borders, Rigged Elections, and Grossly Unfair Courtroom Decisions are DESTROYING AMERICA. WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE, A FAILING NATION! MAGA2024,” he added.
Russian President Putin’s most vocal critic, 47-year-old Alexei Navalny died in the Arctic prison colony on Friday where he was serving a three-decade jail sentence. In a statement, Russia’s federal penitentiary service said Navalny fell and lost consciousness after a walk at the “Polar Wolf” penal colony in Kharp, and could not be revived by medics.
Navalny’s mother was told on Saturday that he died of “sudden death syndrome“. However, according to some media reports, bruises were spotted on Navalny’s head and chest when his body arrived at an Artic morgue, a paramedic told independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta Europe in a Sunday article.
“As an experienced paramedic, I can say that the injuries described by those who saw them appeared to be from convulsions,” the paramedic was quoted as saying by the New York Post.
Meanwhile, Alexei Navalny’s wife, Yulia Navalnaya accused the Russian President of killing her husband on Monday. “I want to live in a free Russia, I want to build a free Russia. I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny,” Yulia said in a video titled I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny.
