"The Chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, said Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died of a blood clot, as Russian officials had claimed.
“I may disappoint you, but as far as we know, he indeed died as a result of a blood clot,” Budanov told reporters at the ‘Ukraine: Year of 2024’ summit on Sunday.
Budanov said the official cause of death provided by the Kremlin had “been more or less confirmed,” adding that his information “wasn’t sourced from the Internet, but, unfortunately, natural [causes].”
Navalny’s body was released to his mother, Lyudmila, last week."
