EU sanctions six Russian scientists linked to Navalny's death by poisoning

The European Union has sanctioned six Russian scientists connected to the production of epibatidine, the deadly toxin found in Alexei Navalny's body after his death. Navalny, a leading critic of President Vladimir Putin, died in February 2024 in an Arctic prison. The sanctions are part of the EU's broader effort to hold accountable those responsible for his killing.
