Navalny's mother asks Putin to hand over body. Russian human rights groups have received more than 70,000 complaints from citizens asking the Federal Investigative Committee to return the bodies.
U.S. White House aide Kirby calls for transparent investigation into the death of Navalny, an opposition leader who continued to criticize Russia's Putin regime, in prison. He also announced that he would announce new sanctions on February 23 to hold Russia accountable following Navalny's death and the upcoming two-year anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.
