The UK government has announced plans to impose sanctions on prison officers at the facility where Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny died, marking the first set of actions taken directly in response to his death. Downing Street has demanded a full investigation into Navalny's murder and accountability for those responsible. Foreign Secretary David Cameron has issued a warning to Vladimir Putin, stating, "We match our words with actions." Additionally, there have been calls for a G20 agreement on seizing Russian Central Bank Assets and the establishment of a Special Tribunal on the Crime of Aggression. The British Government's stance has been clear, with calls to enforce and extend sanctions, end the flow of "dirty money" in London, and investigate interference in UK elections.
