The White House has announced that a new package of sanctions against Russia is set to go into effect following the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Siberian prison camp.
The administration said the package would be released on Friday. This comes after President Joe Biden’s comments to reporters on Monday that he was considering new sanctions.
“We already have sanctions, but we are considering additional sanctions, yes,” he said.
On Friday, Mr Biden blamed the death of Mr Navalny on Russian President Vladimir Putin, noting that while the US was unsure what took place, it was “a consequence of something that Putin and his thugs did”.

The cause of death is being a political opponent to Putler
Of course but where were they when he got Eau De Novichok. 4 years ago ?
Politics is, unfortunately, highly political. I agree Russia should eat more shit for overseas assassinations but a win is a win.
