Alexei Navalny’s mother warned against public funeral for son

The mother of Putin’s opponent, Alexei Navalny, has said officials threatened her not to hold a public funeral for her son, who died last week in prison.

Lyudmila Navalnaya has finally seen her son’s body six days after his death and was told she could only bury her son in secret.

It comes as President Putin took flight in a nuclear-capable jet on the eve of the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Sky’s Moscow Correspondent Diana Magnay reports.
