UK wants action taken on Russia after Navalny frog poisoning, Cooper says

The UK government has expressed concern over the reported poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, allegedly with a nerve agent. Foreign Secretary James Cooper stated that the UK will consider taking coordinated action, including the imposition of additional sanctions on the Russian regime, in response to this incident. The statement comes after Navalny fell ill on a flight from Siberia to Moscow and was subsequently transported to Germany for medical treatment. The German government has concluded that Navalny was poisoned with a Novichok-class nerve agent, a substance previously used in the 2018 attack on Sergei Skripal in Salisbury, UK. The UK government has condemned the alleged poisoning, which it views as a further example of the Russian state's disregard for the rule of law and human rights. The potential imposition of new sanctions is intended to hold Russia accountable for its actions and deter future such incidents.
