The latest toxicology results, conducted by an international team of specialists, indicate that Alexei Navalny was murdered using epibatidine. This poison, naturally occurring in South American amphibians, was likely synthesized in laboratory conditions. A statement on the matter was issued by fourteen countries, including Poland and France, pointing to the full responsibility of the Kremlin for the death of the opposition leader in a penal colony in 2024.

Identification of the lethal toxin

Epibatidine, a rare poison originating from South American frogs, was detected in Alexei Navalny's body, as confirmed by tests in five countries.

Laboratory production of the toxin

Experts determined that the poison was synthetically produced in a laboratory, ruling out accidental contact with the toxin and indicating a deliberate assassination.

Accusations against Russia

A group of 14 countries issued a statement asserting that Russia bears sole responsibility for the murder of the oppositionist in the penal colony.

Analysis conducted by experts from Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom has shed new light on the circumstances of Alexei Navalny's death. The autopsy results and toxicological tests revealed the presence of epibatidine in the politician's body. Specialists from Colombia and Ecuador, who study amphibians, confirmed that this substance was not obtained directly from animals. Due to its purity level and molecular specificity, the toxin must have been produced in an advanced laboratory. Such a discovery suggests that the operation to eliminate the political opponent was precisely planned by intelligence services. Intelligence services of the USSR and Russia have a long history of using rare poisons against dissidents, starting with the assassination of Georgi Markov using ricin in 1978, up to the Novichok attack on Sergei Skripal in 2018. A joint statement by Western countries, issued during the Munich Security Conference, unequivocally blames the authorities of the Russian Federation. The Kremlin systematically rejects these accusations, claiming that the death occurred from natural causes. However, scientific evidence points to the deliberate use of an exotic toxin intended to mimic natural respiratory or circulatory failure. Poland has actively joined calls for an independent, international investigation under the auspices of the UN, emphasizing the violation of all humanitarian norms. „Everything was supposed to look natural, but science has allowed us to uncover the truth about this cruel murder.” — UK Foreign Office Representative The use of a synthetic version of the poison dart frog as a tool of crime demonstrates the desperation and sophistication of methods used against political prisoners in Russia. The Navalny case will likely become a pretext for imposing further diplomatic and economic sanctions on Moscow. Liberal media emphasize the brutality of the regime and the necessity of immediate sanctions for the murder of the leader of the free world. | Conservative media focus on scientific evidence and manipulations by Western intelligence agencies, suggesting caution in passing judgments.
