        Russian President Vladimir Putin has not watched a video statement by Yulia Navalnaya in which she vowed to continue Alexei Navalny's work, but her assertion he was poisoned with a nerve agent is unfounded, the Kremlin said on Tuesday.
        
        Navalnaya said in the video issued on Monday three days after her husband's death and less than a month before Russia's next presidential election that she would fight for a "free Russia" and called on supporters to oppose Putin with greater fury than ever.
        
        The 47-year-old mother-of-two alternated between rage and grief as she signalled she would try to help lead a shell-shocked opposition and accused Putin of having Navalny murdered, something the Kremlin has denied.
