UK and allies confirm Navalny killed by frog poison
The UK and its allies have formally accused the government of Vladimir Putin for murdering Alexei Navalny using a lethal neurotoxin found in Ecuadorian dart frogs. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper revealed that British scientists at Porton Down identified the substance, known as epibatidine, from samples believed to be smuggled out of Russia. Western officials stated the barbaric act could only have been state-sanctioned and plan to report their findings to the international chemical weapons watchdog.
