Russia Killed Navalny with Frog Poison: European Nations Claim

France, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands published today a press release about the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

According to the five countries, Navalny was poisoned by the Russian authorities, with poison from an Ecuadorian poison dart frog.

Russia denies accusations of Navalny poisoning

– Propaganda

– When the test results are available and the formulas for the substances are published, we will comment accordingly. Until then, all such claims are just propaganda, meant to divert attention from the West’s problems.

This is according to the spokeswoman for Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, according to the Russian news agency TASS.

Russia has never given any real answer as to why Navalny died, other than that he collapsed while out for a walk.

200 times stronger than morphine

The frog poison epibatidine is 200 times stronger than morphine. Indigenous tribes in South America use the poison in blowpipe arrows or blowpipes when hunting.

– Russia has claimed that Navalny died of natural causes. However, given the toxicity of epibatidine and reported symptoms, poisoning was most likely the cause of death.

Navalny died while in prison, which means that Russia had the means, the motive and the opportunity to give him this poison, the press release states.

– This is our government’s conclusion based on analyzes of samples from Alexei Navalny. These analyzes have finally confirmed the presence of epibatidine.

Britain and its allies call it a “barbaric act” to use this type of nerve agent, which is classified as a chemical weapon, according to Sky News.

– Only the Russian government had the means, motive and opportunity to use this deadly poison against Alexei Navalny during his imprisonment in Russia, says British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper, according to BBC.

The countries now plan to send their findings to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

Russian authorities have so far not commented on the press release.

The widow: – Putin killed my husband

Julia Navalnaya, the widow of the Russian dissident, attended a press conference in connection with the security conference in Munich.

She was flanked by the foreign ministers from the UK, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands as they announced the findings.

– Two years ago I went on stage here and said that it was Vladimir Putin who killed my husband. Of course I was sure it was murder… but at the time it was just words. But today these words have been scientifically proven facts, says Navalnaja according to AFP.

Died in penal colony

Alexei Navalny was known as Vladimir Putin’s foremost critic, until his death on February 16, 2024.

The opposition politician died in a penal colony in northern Siberia. Russia has never given a proper answer as to why Navalny died, other than that he collapsed while out for a walk.

The family and supporters have always maintained that Navalny was killed by the Russian authorities.
