Russia's Alexey Navalny killed by dart frog poison, European nations allege
Feb 15, 2026
In a joint statement issued on Saturday -- timed to coincide with the Munich Security Conference -- the foreign ministries of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands said laboratory analysis of samples taken from Navalny's body "conclusively confirmed the presence of epibatidine", a toxin naturally found in poison dart frogs and otherwise absent from Russia. The governments said their findings leave no "innocent explanation" for the chemical's presence.
