Overview

• Navalnaya says biological samples from Alexei Navalny were secretly taken out of Russia and tested independently in two countries, with both labs concluding he was poisoned.
• She alleges the results are being withheld for political reasons and publicly demands the laboratories release full reports identifying the substance.
• Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he was unaware of Navalnaya’s claims, and Russian authorities maintain Navalny died of medical causes after feeling unwell during a walk.
• Navalnaya and allies presented staff testimony and photos they say show symptoms consistent with poisoning and a delayed medical response, noting no prison video from his final hours has been made public.
• The new claim follows Navalny’s confirmed 2020 Novichok poisoning and previous media reporting of U.S. intelligence assessments finding no conclusive proof that Putin personally ordered his death.
