BREAKING: Russia Used Ecuadorian Dart Frog Poison to Assassinate Alexei Navalny
The governments of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden, and the Netherlands have issued a joint statement announcing their conclusion that Russian opposition leader and freedom fighter Alexei Navalny was assassinated by Russia’s intelligence services using poison from an Ecuadorian dart frog.
The announcement was made at the Munich Security Conference by the UK’s Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper.
Navalny’s wife, Yulia Navalnaya, was in attendance.
The joint statement said that Navalny, who was assassinated two years ago this week, died due to the frog’s poison, which obviously is not native to Russia.
There is no specific antidote for this poison. Medical care is limited to stabilizing the patient and addressing complications.
Because Navalny was being held in a penal colony near the Arctic Circle under the exclusive control of the Russian government, only Russian authorities would have had access to administer the poison.
An operation involving such a prominent dissident could only be carried out on the orders of Vladimir Putin.
The Ecuadorian dart frog’s native habitat is over 7,000 miles from where Navalny was being held prisoner.

In authoritarian systems, dissidents become structurally threatening when they intersect three domains: corruption exposure, protest mobilization, and international advocacy.
Navalny operated across all three; which increases perceived regime risk independent of his formal political viability.
Do you have any rrason to believe this "Old Europe" joint statement, especially as the competing theory is that Navalny's murder was a British operation designed to boost an ongoing smear campaign against Russia?
