Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny who died in Russian custody, will attend the EU foreign affairs council Monday, the bloc's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Sunday, as Russian courts jailed dozens of people detained at events commemorating his husband. For many years, Navalnaya insisted she had no interest in getting into politics, but since Navalny’s death on Friday, she appears to have turned into her late husband’s torchbearer.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said he would welcome Yulia Navalnaya to the bloc's Foreign Affairs Council on Monday.
