The publication of a joint statement by several countries at the Munich Security Conference claimed that Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a toxin called epipatidin, and that 'only the Russian state had the capability' to use such a method. When journalists asked for the Kremlin's response, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov sharply replied: 'Very negative. We naturally do not accept such accusations, we disagree with them, we consider them biased and unfounded. And we firmly reject them.'
