Navalny's Death: European Nations Allege Deadly Frog Venom Poisoning

• European countries accuse Russia of poisoning Alexei Navalny with Epibatidine, a deadly frog venom.
• Epibatidine, extracted from South American dart frogs, is 200 times more potent than nicotine.
• The poison causes immediate paralysis and respiratory failure, making death appear natural.
• European governments suggest only a state apparatus could obtain and administer such a rare poison in prison.
• Navalny died in February 2024 in an Arctic prison; his family disputes Russia's official cause of death.
