A video published by the widow of Alexei Navalny, murdered in a Putin prison, has issued a video calling on the EU to maintain its ban on the Putin conductor Valery Gergiev. It describes Gergiev as a longtime friend and supporter of the Russian president. It assues Gergiev of embezzling public funds, a propagandist and puppet for the regime.
Yulia Navalny is being shared now by EU Parliament members.
