## Resource

The EU just slapped sanctions on six Russian scientists linked to Alexei Navalny’s poisoning and death, freezing their assets and banning them from entering the bloc — a stark warning against chemical weapons use. Evidence points to epibatidine, a toxin these researchers allegedly helped develop at state-backed labs tied to Russia’s chemical weapons program. Navalny, Putin’s fiercest critic, survived an earlier poisoning attempt but died in prison last year — prompting this powerful EU response.
