UK and Allies Says Navalny Killed with Rare Dart Frog Toxin

Five European countries blame Russia for Navalny's death, citing conclusive forensic proof of poison dart frog toxin epibatidine found on his body samples.

  • On February 14, 2026, the foreign ministries of the U.K., France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands said analyses conclusively confirmed epibatidine on Alexei Navalny's body.
  • Officials argue the Russian state had the means, motive and opportunity to poison Navalny while he was held in an Arctic penal colony in Siberia, viewing him as a regime threat.
  • Scientists and ministers pointed to epibatidine as about 200 times stronger than morphine, Johann Wadephul called it `particularly strong`, and officials say how it was administered years ago remains unclear.
  • Britain and allies plan to notify the OPCW and report Russia for breaching the Chemical Weapons Convention, while more than 400 people were detained in Russia after Navalny's death.
  • His prior Novichok poisoning and return to Russia underscore that Yulia Navalnaya said two labs found her husband poisoned last year and she blamed Vladimir Putin.
