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 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 died after 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.
He was 47.
“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.”
“Epibatidine is a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America,” the statement added. “It is not naturally found in Russia.”
It is not clear how the toxin was administered to Navalny.
Yulia Navalnaya, the Russian dissident’s widow, appeared at a press conference on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference to announce the results of a Western analysis into his death, flanked by the foreign ministers of European nations.

“the U.K. and other allies claimed”
They have no prove of this.
And some here want us to trust Putin.
Accusations of Russian poisoning surfaced again this week after Western governments said laboratory analysis found the rare frog-derived toxin epibatidine, a compound associated with Ecuadorian poison dart frogs, in samples from the body of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
The allegation feeds into a long and deeply contested narrative around high-profile poison cases in Vladimir Putin’s Russia, from radioactive tea to nerve agents. Moscow has consistently denied involvement in the episodes, which have shaped its global reputation.
“citing “analyses of samples from Alexei Navalny.”
How did they get “samples”?
You never miss a chance to defend Putin!
I don't recall the specifics, but I clearly remember that the news cycle was going well for Russia right at that precise time when he died. It was as if someone with an anti-Russia bent was desperate to change the narrative, and offing Navalny (knowing Russia would be blamed) was the perfect way to do it.
More concerned about EU MAGA haters poisoning their MEGA opponents by censorship.
After a visit from his loving wife, he coincidental was poisoned with a hard to detect poison which would have stopped Russia from returning the body.
Seems like a lot of effort compared to the old Stalinist days.
They went with the frog poison because there aren’t any windows in that prison he could fall out of.
The russians love using exotic poisons to get rid of their opposition. .... And windows.
Lol. Exactly
weird how russia is inundated with tropical poison dart frogs-
And, you want us to trust Zelensky and the neo-Nazi government in Ukraine.
Only imbecile would believe this report has any credibility given that tests on the body would be necessary to prove the claim. But, you are an imbecile.
“Only imbecile would believe this report has any credibility given that tests on the body would be necessary to prove the claim. But, you are an imbecile.”
LOL! Tests on the body were done.
You Putinistas are so amusing.
“Of course, the only way to prove this claim would be to have access to the body and conduct tests on it. And, only the Russian government had access to it.”
Why do you make up false stories in your defending Putin?
Google is your friend
“which would have stopped Russia from returning the body”
His body was returned
