Moscow Rejects Findings
The Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom dismissed the European conclusions.
“There is no reason whatsoever to credit such ‘findings’ by Western ‘experts’,” the embassy said in a statement posted on social media.
Navalny had been one of President Vladimir Putin’s most prominent critics. In 2023, a Russian court sentenced him to 19 years in prison on extremism charges, adding to a previous sentence of nearly 12 years. Later that year, he was transferred to a “special regime” facility in the Arctic.
The latest findings deepen the dispute between Russia and several Western governments over the circumstances surrounding Navalny’s death.
