The Kremlin on Saturday hit back at claims from the United Kingdom and other allies that opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed by a dart frog toxin while serving a sentence in a Russian prison in 2024.
Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry, said the accusations "are a disinformation campaign by the West."
"There will be analysis results, there will be formulas of substances, there will be a comment. Without this, all the talks and statements are an information campaign aimed at diverting attention from the urgent problems of the West," she said.
Meanwhile, the Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom has issued a similar response, stating:
"This is not a search for justice, but a mockery of the dead. Even after the death of a Russian citizen, London and European capitals cannot give him peace, which speaks volumes about the instigators of this campaign,"
