The EU is preparing sanctions against 30 Russians and companies because of Navalny's death

 European Union countries are preparing a package of sanctions against about 30 Russians and Russian companies due to the death of imprisoned Putin critic Alexei Navalny.

This was reported by Rikard Jozwiak, the editor of Radio Svoboda on European affairs, citing his sources.

According to him, in response to Navalny's death, the EU is preparing to ban entry and freeze the assets of about 30 Russian citizens and Russian companies.

These measures should be ready for approval at the meeting of EU foreign ministers on March 18.

It will be recalled that earlier the EU's chief diplomat, Josep Borrell, announced plans to rename the sanctions regime for human rights violations in honor of Navalny.

After Navalny's death in the colony, many Western countries summoned Russian ambassadors.

Britain was the first to announce new sanctions against Russia in response to Navalny's death, followed by additional sanctions imposed by the United States and Canada.
