The US will impose sanctions against Russia because of Alexei Navalny in early March - CNN

The administration of the new US President Joe Biden is preparing to impose sanctions against Russia due to the poisoning and arrest of Alexei Navalny. The European Union will also support anti-Russian measures, writes CNN.

Sanctions could be introduced as early as this week, according to the channel's sources in the White House. According to one of the interlocutors of CNN, the sanctions will affect both individuals and legal entities. These will be the new president's first measures against Russia, which should "set the tone for Moscow policy in the future." According to CNN, the Biden administration is seeking to send a "strong signal" that it will monitor human rights and will act with its allies. The new president plans to deal with “other problems” that Russia brings, sources say.

that the new US presidential administration is preparing to impose sanctions because of the case against Navalny also wrote The Washington Post . Part of the action against Russia will be imposed by hacking US users from the public and private sectors by supposedly Russian hackers.
At the end of February, 27 EU countries agreed on sanctions against Russia for the persecution of Alexei Navalny. Those responsible for the arrest, sentence and prosecution of the oppositionist will fall under the sanctions. The politician himself called on Europe to impose sanctions against major Russian businessmen, for example, Roman Abramovich and Alisher Usmanov. But the EU is not going to introduce sanctions against businessmen.
On February 2, the court sentenced Alexei Navalny to 3.5 years in a penal colony. The judge fully granted the request of the Federal Penitentiary Service to replace the suspended sentence with a real one in the Yves Rocher case. The ECHR demanded that Russia immediately release politician Alexei Navalny from custody as an interim measure on his complaint. The Russian authorities, in turn, said they would not comply with the order.
