Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in prison after being poisoned with a deadly toxin found in Ecuadorian dart frogs, the U.K. and other allies claimed Saturday.
There is no possible other explanation other than a deliberate poisoning, European officials said, noting that the frogs are not found in Russia.
Russia’s prison service reported in February 2024 that Navalny diedafter having felt unwell following a walk around the high-security facility in a remote town above the Arctic Circle where he was serving a combined 30½-year jail sentence.
“The U.K., Sweden, France, Germany and the Netherlands are confident that Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin,” the British foreign ministry said in a joint statement Saturday, citing “analyses of samples from Alexei Navalny.”
In September, [his widow] Navalnaya said she had managed to have lab tests conducted in a bid to confirm the suspicion that he died at the hands of the Kremlin.
“We managed to transfer Alexei’s biological materials abroad,” Navalnaya wrote, without giving any further details about the tests or which countries were involved.
"We now know that Vladimir Putin is prepared to use biological weapons against his own people in order to remain in power," French foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot said in a post on X.
