U.S. to add “major sanctions” on Russia later this week
The United States is preparing more sanctions on Russia in response to the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the White House will unveil the new sanctions later this week. Kirby said the U-S had not determined how Navalny had died, but insisted that Russian President Putin is “responsible.” The announcement of this week’s sanctions will coincide with the two year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
