Five European allies on Saturday (February 14, 2026) accused Moscow of murdering Navalny with the exotic poison while he was held in an Arctic penal colony two years ago. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday (February 16, 2026) that Moscow took a very negative view of what he said were false accusations. “Naturally, we do not accept such accusations. We disagree with them. We consider them biased and unfounded. And, in fact, we strongly reject them,” said Mr. Peskov.
