Navalny's former deputy Leonid Volkov blamed Moscow for the opposition politician's death. Asked whether he would confirm the news, Volkov said: "Russian authorities published a confession that they killed Aleksey Navalny in prison. We have no way of confirming this or proving that it is not true. If it is true, Putin killed Navalny."
