Washington (CNN)The Biden administration is preparing to impose sanctions on Russia over the poisoning and jailing of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny this week, two administration officials tell CNN.
The rollout of the sanctions will happen in coordination with the European Union, the officials said.
The measures and the exact timing will be fleshed out by US and EU officials in the coming days.
These sanctions would be the first costs imposed on Russia by the Biden administration and will set the tone for their policy towards Moscow going forward.
They would mark a clear departure from the approach of the Trump administration, which declined to impose penalties over the poisoning and shied away from directly confronting Russia over its nefarious actions.

WNU Editor: I expect these sanctions will be very limited in scope. In the meantime Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny has been transferred to prison .... Kremlin critic Navalny moved to penal colony outside Moscow to serve jail term (Reuters).
Apparently this prison has a "harsh reputation" .... ‘They Will Break You’: Inside Navalny’s Notorious New Prison Home (Moscow Times). But truth be told. All Russian prisons are very harsh.
Update: Looks like a lot of Russian law enforcement officers are going to lose their jobs (and more) because of Navalny .... Russia Targets Officers Accused Of Leaking Data On Navalny Poisoning (RFE).

ReplyDeleteAs of 26 January 2007, British officials said police had solved the murder of Litvinenko.
"On the same day, The Guardian reported that the British government was preparing an extradition request asking that Andrei Lugovoy be returned to the UK to stand trial for Litvinenko's murder.[107] On 22 May 2007, the Crown Prosecution Service called for the extradition of Russian citizen Andrei Lugovoy to the UK on charges of murder"
"In January 2015, it was reported in the British media that the National Security Agency had intercepted communications between Russian government agents in Moscow and those who carried out what was called a "state execution" in London: the recorded conversations allegedly proved that the Russian government was involved in Litvinenko's murder, and suggested that the motive was Litvinenko's revelations about Vladimir Putin's links with the criminal underworld"
