Yulia Navalnaïa, wife of Russian opponent Alexeï Navalny, has always appeared as the main support of the Russian opponent. She will participate in a meeting of European Union foreign ministers on Monday, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell announced on Sunday.

She experienced the hope of the major demonstrations that he mobilized in Russia, the anguish of a poisoning which he narrowly survived in 2020 and a return to Moscow a few months later. Despite the 19-year prison sentence handed down to him and his terrible conditions of detention, she remained hopeful.
