EU Proposes Sanctions Against Russia In Navalny’s Name

The EU foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, has been speaking in Brussels where EU leaders are meeting.

He says the bloc must send a “message of support” to the Russian opposition.

Members are expected to discuss new sanctions against Moscow at today’s meeting, planning to have them in place by the two year anniversary of the war in Ukraine.

Borrell also proposed that the EU rename its human rights sanctions regime, which targets individuals and entities responsible for serious human rights violations, in the late Navalny’s name.
