Five European nations announced Saturday that they believe Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was poisoned by the Kremlin, using a rare and lethal toxin found in the skin of poison dart frogs. The announcement was made by the foreign ministries of the U.K., France, and Germany, among others.
According to the Associated Press, the announcement came on the same day the U.S. military reported a series of airstrikes against Islamic State group targets in Syria. The strikes were in retaliation for a December ambush that killed two U.S. soldiers and one American civilian interpreter, according to U.S. Central Command. American aircraft conducted 10 strikes against more than 30 IS targets between Feb. 3 and Thursday, hitting weapons storage facilities and other infrastructure, the command stated.
The news of Navalny's poisoning was released on Saturday, February 14, 2026. The source of the information was the Associated Press, which reported that the five European countries had come to this conclusion. A photo of Navalny speaking to the media in Moscow on December 26, 2019, was included in the report.
