Breaking news: The funeral of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is scheduled to take place this Friday in Moscow. A spokeswoman has confirmed that Navalny will be buried in the capital city. His wife has recently addressed European leaders regarding the funeral arrangements.
The funeral is set to occur the day after tomorrow, and there is uncertainty surrounding whether the event will proceed peacefully or if there will be potential arrests by the police of those attending to pay their respects to Navalny.
