The UK and its European allies have claimed that a poison derived from a dart frog toxin was used to assassinate Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Following examination of material samples discovered on Navalny’s remains, Britain and its allies have accused the Kremlin of being responsible for his death at a Siberian prison camp two years ago.
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper claimed that “only the Russian government had the means, motive and opportunity” to use the poison while Navalny was detained in Russia while speaking from the Munich Security Conference.
Moscow has rejected the discovery as “an information campaign,” according to the news agency Tass, but Cooper stated that there is no explanation for the discovery of the toxin, known as epibatidine. The UK, Sweden, France, Germany, and the Netherlands released a joint statement at the same time as Cooper announced the results.
At the conference this weekend, Cooper had a meeting with Yulia Navalnaya, Navalny’s widow. Cooper stated during the occasion that Russia viewed Navalny as a threat. The Russian government showed its vile weapons and its crippling dread of political dissent by employing this type of poison,” she continued.
