Why did Russia kill Navalny with a lethal frog toxin? Chemical weapons expert Marc-Michael Blum believes the Kremlin never intended to get caught.

Two years after Alexey Navalny died in a Russian prison, five European countries confirmed through independent testing that he was poisoned. Analyses of Navalny’s biological samples, conducted by multiple independent laboratories, revealed traces of epibatidine — a deadly neurotoxin derived from a South American frog species and now produced synthetically. Why would Russia use an exotic poison to assassinate an imprisoned opposition leader? Where did the Kremlin get the toxin? And will Moscow face any consequences for potentially violating international weapons conventions? For answers to these and other questions, Meduza spoke with biochemist and chemical weapons expert Marc-Michael Blum, former head of the OPCW laboratory.

Zelenskyy says no agreement on key issues in peace talks as he accuses Russia of ‘dragging out negotiations’ – as it happened

Unresolved ‘sensitive’ issues in peace talks are fate of occupied territories in east Ukraine and Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant

Europe says it has proof Russia fatally poisoned Alexey Navalny. Can international law hold the Kremlin to account?

On February 14, the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Sweden announced that Alexey Navalny had been poisoned in a Russian prison with a lethal toxin — epibatidine. The governments said the conclusion was based on independent laboratory analyses of samples taken after Navalny’s death in 2024.

Pour #Poutine qui n'a aucune considération pour la vie humaine, lui qui a fait empoisonner son opposant #Navalny et qui bombarde chaque jour l' #Ukraine, la #Russie ne peut pas perdre car ne comptant que 150 millions d'habitants contre les 450 millions de l' Europe #EU, en cas de guerre #nucléaire, il y aura 3 fois plus de victimes européennes que russes. C'est un calcul que l'on apprend dès la maternelle pense ce grand stratège militaire depuis son Bunker.

"This is a regime that kills rather than protects its own people."

Two years after #Navalny's murder, @oditrych’s words on his legacy, and the system that silenced him, still ring true.
