UK, Four Others Blame Russia for Navalny's Death, Cite 'Dart Frog Toxin'
- •The UK and four other countries accuse Russia of killing Alexei Navalny using a rare dart frog toxin, epibatidine.
- •Epibatidine, found in South American dart frogs, is not naturally present in Russia, strengthening the accusation.
- •Navalny's widow, Yulia Navalnaya, states his death in an Arctic prison in 2024 was a "scientifically proven murder."
- •The countries reported Russia to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons for violating the Chemical Weapons Convention.
- •Russia previously denied involvement in Navalny's death, but the presence of epibatidine on his body has no innocent explanation.
