**Quote:** “As a father of two children living under Russian missile strikes and a soldier in Ukraine’s Defence Forces (strike drone unit of the Kherson Patrol Police), I cannot accept this award alongside laureates who are ‘unsure’ about the necessity of providing my country with Western weapons that are critical for repelling Russian aggression.”
**Details:** Among this year’s recipients of the Magnitsky Award is Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Alexei Navalny, who was recognised in the Courage Under Fire category. In her interview with [Die Zeit](https://www.zeit.de/2024/45/julija-nawalnaja-opposition-russland-waffenlieferung-ukraine) in late October, Navalnaya expressed doubts about the need to keep supplying Ukraine with Western weapons, stating that “bombs also hit Russians”.

Doesn’t she share the same views as her husband regarding the war?
that they’re against the invasion, but support russia taking crimea and some parts of eastern ukraine?
I never understood all the hype for Navalny. Dude was a nationalist, had a lot of far right views, and supported Russia’s expansion. He called Georgian citizens “rats” during the 2008 war and compared Chechens to cockroaches. He would have been another version of Putin had he gained power.
