00:00 EU foreign ministers welcome Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya
00:06 in Brussels, just after she released a message on social media.
00:10 "We know exactly why Putin killed Alexei three days ago. We will tell you about it soon.
00:18 We will definitely find out who exactly and how exactly this crime was carried out. We
00:23 will name names and show faces."
00:28 Navalny's death in prison has outraged Russia's exiled opposition and Western powers alike,
00:34 as they point the finger at the Kremlin.
00:36 EU foreign ministers are looking at how to inflict new penalties on Russian President
00:40 Vladimir Putin.
00:41 "A member state will propose sanctions for sure against the responsible, well the great
00:49 responsible is Putin himself. But we can go down to the institutional structure of the
00:57 penitentiary system in Russia. But don't forget who is the real responsible for Navalny's
01:03 death."
01:04 Evgenia Karamoza, wife of Russian political prisoner Vladimir Karamoza, called for unity
01:08 at the summit.
01:11 "The global community must be united in their support for the Ukrainian people and also
01:17 for the people within Russian civil society who understand what's happening and oppose
01:21 the regime.
01:24 Each person who opposes Vladimir Putin, whether inside or outside Russia, is in danger."
01:31 The EU has already imposed unprecedented sanctions on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
01:37 With officials saying this leaves less room for manoeuvre in inflicting further pain.
