"She told the BBC proof of the toxin was a "clear breach" of international chemical weapons rules and "we do want to see action" taken, which could include continuing coordinated sanctions on Russia. Cooper is currently attending the Munich Security Conference alongside Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, where the pair have been calling for European allies to be ready to fight, particularly against threats from Russia."
"Speaking from a snow-covered Munich rooftop, Cooper said Britain and its allies must be ready to face down Russian aggression, which includes "the use of lethal toxins against their own citizens". "We have been pursuing the truth on this since Alexei died in prison," she said, in an effort to continue Navalny's work to "tell the truth, spread the truth" about the Russian regime under Putin, "because that is the most dangerous weapon of all"."
European laboratories confirmed that Alexei Navalny died from an obscure frog-derived toxin detected in his body while he was held in a Siberian prison. The UK asserts only the Russian government had the means, motive and opportunity to deploy such a toxin. The finding is identified as a clear breach of international chemical weapons rules and could prompt coordinated sanctions and other actions. UK leaders at the Munich Security Conference urged European allies to be prepared to confront Russian threats. Navalny's widow maintains he was murdered by poisoning, while Moscow previously claimed natural causes.
