Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the investigation into the death of Alexei Navalny is ongoing, but as of Monday morning there is "still no result".
The investigation, he adds, "is being conducted in accordance with Russian law."
The Kremlin spokesman also took a moment to defend Russian President Vladimir Putin against accusations leveled against him by Western leaders that he was responsible for Navalny's death.
"We consider it absolutely unacceptable to make such, well, frankly disgusting statements," Peskov said.
"These statements, of course, cannot cause any harm to the head of our state.
When pressed about Putin's reaction to news of the opposition leader's death, Peskov said: "I have nothing to add."
His wife Yulia Navalnaya came out this Monday with a statement in which she directly accused Vladimir Putin of killing her husband, Alexei Navalny.
Through a video posted on YouTube, she also pledged to continue his work.
"Hello, I'm Yulia Navalnaya. Someone else should have been here in my place. But that man was killed by Vladimir Putin. Somewhere in a prison beyond the Arctic Circle, Putin didn't just kill Alexei Navalny as a person, he wanted to kill our hope, our freedom, our future. We know exactly why Putin killed Alexei 3 days ago. We will tell you very soon. But the most important thing we can do for Alexei and ourselves is to continue the battle," she said.
