Five European countries, including the UK, France and Germany, accused Russia on Saturday of poisoning opposition politician Alexei Navalny in prison in 2024 using a rare toxin, on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
"We know that the Russian state used this deadly toxin to target Navalny, fearing his opposition," the UK Foreign Office said in a joint statement with Sweden, France, the Netherlands and Germany on the eve of the second anniversary of the death of the fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
