European states accuse Russia of Navanlny poisoning

Five European countries, including Britain, France and Germany, accused Russia on Saturday of having poisoned jailed opposition figure Alexei Navalny with a rare and lethal toxin in 2024, speaking on the margins of the Munich Security Conference, as the United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany and Netherlands said in a joint statement that analyses of samples from Navalny’s body left them confident he had been poisoned, following the death of the outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin in an Arctic prison in February 2024 while he was serving a 19-year sentence.
