“We have common enemy”, Navalnaya says after her speech being disrupted by Ukrainian activists in Lisbon

Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny, urged Ukrainians "not to invent enemies" after they played an air-raid warning signal during her speech in Lisbon. Source: European Pravda, citing Navalnaya on Telegram Details: Navalnaya expressed surprise that "a group of Ukrainian participants at Web Summit" asked her if she supported the war against Ukraine.

Quote: "Seriously?

You're asking me that?.. I am fighting against Putin's regime and against the war. I believe these things are interconnected," she posted, referencing her late husband's anti-Putin and anti-war stance.

Navalnaya also pointed out that "we [meaning both Navalnaya and Ukrainians - ed.] have the same enemy".

"And Ukrainians should not invent an enemy in the face of Russian opposition," she concluded.

Background:

• As reported by European Pravda, during the Web Summit 2024 conference in Lisbon, Ukrainian activists turned on the sound of an air-raid warning and chanted "Stop Russia" during a speech by Yulia Navalnaya.

  Organisers had invited her to the conference as a "powerful voice for democracy and human rights".

• Yulia Navalnaya announced her political ambitions in Russia following her husband's death earlier this year in a Russian penal colony and has since engaged in meetings with foreign leaders.
