Russian Opposition Leader Poisoned With Lethal Frog Toxin

Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader who died in prison in February 2024, was “highly likely” poisoned with a frog toxin, five European countries said in a joint statement.

The Foreign Ministries of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands confirmed on Saturday, nearly two years to the date he died, that they are “confident” that Navalny was poisoned to death.

“Epibatidine is a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America. It is not found naturally in Russia,” the joint statement said.
