US President Joe Biden said he was outraged and joined other Western leaders in criticising Russia over Alexei Navalny's death, blaming it on "something that Putin and his thugs did."

"It’s not ‘Navalny died’, but ‘Putin killed Navalny’,” Leonid Volkov, Navalny’s chief of staff, said.

Grigory Yavlinsky, a veteran liberal, said Navalny’s death showed the need for reform and echoed many opposition figures in saying he feared for the health of other activists in jail.

    Yeah… everyone with a basic understanding of the situation holds Putin responsible for Navalny’s unjust execution. Even Putin’s sociopath supporters know he did it, they’re not even really pretending it was accidental.
