US ‘not disputing’ a ‘troubling’ European report on Navalny poisoning, Rubio says
AI Summary
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio stated that the U.S. is not disputing a European report alleging Alexei Navalny was fatally poisoned with a rare toxin. The report, released by Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden, identified the toxin as epibatidine, derived from an Ecuadorian dart frog, and implicated Russia. Navalny, a critic of Vladimir Putin, died in a Siberian prison on February 16, 2024, while serving a 19-year sentence. While Britain has directly blamed Russia for Navalny's death and is considering new sanctions, Russia has dismissed the European report. Rubio clarified that the U.S. did not join the report because it was a European-led initiative, but that this did not indicate disagreement with its conclusions.
