Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Alexei Navalny, said on Wednesday that two independent laboratories in different countries have concluded that the Kremlin critic was poisoned before his death in a Russian prison last year. Biological samples from Navalny’s body were removed from Russia for testing after his February 2024 death in an Arctic penal colony. "These labs in two different countries reached the same conclusion: Alexei was killed," Navalnaya said in a statement. "More specifically, he was poisoned."
