A global chemical watchdog has confirmed that Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, was poisoned by a nerve agent in the Novichok family.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said on Tuesday that samples taken from Navalny confirmed "the presence of a nerve agent" from the Novichok group.
The findings confirm test results from labs in Germany, France and Sweden.
The 44-year-old was taken ill on a flight to Moscow in August, and was transferred to Berlin two days later where he eventually recovered.
Western leaders have called for sanctions against Russia, but the Kremlin denies any involvement.
