Five European countries say findings ‘conclusively’ confirm the deadly toxin in the Russian opposition leader’s body as Moscow calls it Western propaganda.
Five European nations, including the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, have accused Russia of poisoning opposition leader Alexey Navalny with the lethal toxin epibatidine, confirmed by lab results. They plan to report Russia to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons for violating the Chemical Weapons Convention. Navalny died in February 2024 while imprisoned, and his widow stated that his murder is now a “science-proven fact.” The Russian government denies involvement, attributing his death to natural causes.
