Kremlin rejects accusations on poisoning Alexei Navalny

MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Monday that it strongly rejected accusations from five European countries that the Russian ‌state had ⁠killed late ⁠Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny using toxin from poison dart frogs.

Five ​European allies on Saturday accused Moscow of ​murdering Navalny with the ⁠exotic poison ‌while he ​was ​held in ⁠an Arctic penal colony two years ago.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday that Moscow took a very negative view of what he ‌said were false accusations.


"Naturally, we do not ​accept such ​accusations. ⁠We disagree with them. We consider them biased and unfounded. And, ​in fact, we strongly reject them," said Peskov. (Reporting by Anastasia Lyrchikova; Writing by Anastasia Teterevleva Editing by Andrew Osborn)
