The widow of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny vowed Tuesday that the rule of President Vladimir Putin will \u2018definitely come to an end\u2019 shortly before he was sworn in for another six-year term, reports say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yulia Navalnaya, speaking in a video posted to YouTube months after her husband mysteriously died at an Arctic penal colony, said \u2018Our country is currently being led by a liar, a thief and a murderer, but this will definitely come to an end,\u2019 according to Reuters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Don\u2019t give up, truth will prevail,\u2019 she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During a ceremony inside the Grand Kremlin Palace on Tuesday, Putin, who has already led Russia for 25 years, placed his hand on the country\u2019s constitution and promised to defend it, The Associated Press reports.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The U.S. State Department said Monday that it would not have a representative at the event. President Biden said in February that \u2018Putin is responsible for Navalny\u2019s death.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Putin secured a fifth term in office in March, winning an election that featured no real opposition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018We certainly did not consider that election free and fair, but he is the president of Russia and is going to continue in that capacity,\u2019 State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Putin had walked away with 87% of the vote, according to Russia\u2019s election commission. He celebrated his victory over the smattering of token opposition candidates by saying at the time it was proof of the Russian people\u2019s \u2018trust\u2019 in him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Russia\u2019s election commission also reported that Putin won over 76 million votes, setting a new record.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Putin\u2019s latest term as Russia\u2019s president is set to last until 2030.\u00a0<\/p>\n
