Rubio: US Backs Europe's Navalny Poisoning Claim
February 15, 2026·9 days ago·via Reuters
Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirms the US does not dispute a joint European assessment blaming Russia for poisoning Alexei Navalny with epibatidine, a rare South American frog toxin not found in Russia. European labs analyzed samples and concluded poisoning caused Navalny's 2024 death in a Russian prison, rejecting Moscow's natural causes claim. Rubio calls the report troubling but notes it's Europe's initiative, emphasizing US partnership with allies over confrontation.
