The Kremlin has firmly rebutted allegations from five European countries that it was responsible for the death of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny through the use of poison derived from dart frogs.

The accusations claim that the lethal act occurred while Navalny was imprisoned in an Arctic penal colony two years ago. On Saturday, these European allies formally charged Moscow with employing this rare toxin.

In response, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov addressed the media, firmly dismissing the allegations. He criticized the accusations as false, biased, and unfounded, asserting that the Kremlin did not and does not accept such claims.
