Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died after being poisoned with a lethal toxin and Russia is to blame for the attacks, the UK and its allies have said.
The UK, France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands said on Saturday during a press conference at the Munich security conference that analysis of samples from Navalny, who died two years ago, “have conclusively confirmed the presence of epibatidine.”
It is a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America.
It is not clear how the frog poison was allegedly administered to Navalny, who had been in a penal colony in Siberia when he died.
The countries said that “only the Russian state had the combined means, motive and disregard for international law” to carry out the attack.
