Navalny died ‘after being poisoned with dart frog toxin by Kremlin’
European powers blame Russia for Navalny’s ‘toxin killing’
- The UK and its allies have stated that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died from poisoning with a lethal toxin, holding Russia responsible for the attack.
- Analysis of samples from Navalny, who passed away two years ago, conclusively confirmed the presence of epibatidine, a toxin found in South American poison dart frogs.
- This declaration was made by the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands during a press conference at the Munich Security Conference.
- It remains unclear how the frog poison was allegedly administered to Navalny, who was incarcerated in a Siberian penal colony at the time of his death.
- The allied nations asserted that "only the Russian state had the combined means, motive and disregard for international law" to carry out the attack.
