Moscow | September 17, 2025 – Yulia Navalnaya, widow of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, has claimed that independent foreign laboratory tests conducted on her husband’s biological samples confirmed he was poisoned.
Navalny, 47, died on February 16, 2024, in a prison in Russia’s Arctic Circle, sparking international outrage and depriving the opposition of its most prominent and charismatic figure. While Navalnaya has consistently accused the Russian state of orchestrating his death, the Kremlin has repeatedly dismissed the allegations as baseless.
In a video posted on X, Navalnaya revealed that biological material from Navalny was secretly transported abroad last year, where two separate laboratories carried out examinations.
“These labs in two different countries reached the same conclusion: Alexei was killed. More specifically, he was poisoned,” Navalnaya said.
She urged the laboratories to make their findings public, calling them evidence of what she described as an “inconvenient truth.” However, she did not disclose which laboratories conducted the tests, nor the substance they identified.
Russian investigators previously claimed that Navalny had died from “a combination of diseases,” a narrative that Navalnaya has firmly rejected.
Meanwhile, according to reports by the Associated Press and The Wall Street Journal, U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that President Vladimir Putin did not personally order Navalny’s killing—a conclusion likely to fuel further debate over responsibility.
