Britain: Alexei Navalny Poisoned on Putin’s Orders

Vladimir Putin’s prominent opponent, Alexei Navalny, was reportedly killed by a poison derived from dart frog toxin, according to the UK and its allies, who have blamed the Russian state for his death in 2024. Navalny, who had accused Putin of corruption, died in a Siberian penal colony, and analyses found the toxin Epibatidine on his body. The UK Foreign Office emphasized that only the Russian government had the means and motive to carry out such an act. This incident follows a previous poisoning attempt on Navalny in 2020 with the nerve agent Novichok.
