Chief of Ukraine's HUR, Kyrylo Budanov, stated that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died from a blood clot, which has been confirmed to some extent, despite earlier claims of "natural causes" by Russian officials. Navalny's body was finally handed over to his mother after a week, with his team accusing the Kremlin of attempting to block a public funeral to prevent a show of support for Navalny's movement and opposition to Putin. The Russian leader has not commented on Navalny's death, and his spokesman criticized statements blaming Putin for the death as "vulgar".
