Analysis in European labs "conclusively confirmed" that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was poisoned by the Kremlin with a lethal dart frog toxin, the foreign ministries of five European countries stated over the weekend, bringing his 2024 death in an Arctic penal colony back into focus.
Navalny died in the Polar Wolf maximum-security corrections facility near the western Siberian town of Kharp in February 2024 while serving a 19-year sentence for "extremism", a charge that he and his supporters say was a way of silencing him over his opposition work.
