On March 18, the European Union agreed to impose new sanctions against Russia in response to the death of opposition leader Alexey Navalny, who died in an Arctic prison last month. The sanctions, approved by EU foreign ministers, target 30 individuals and entities deemed responsible for Navalny's death. Josep Borrell, the EU's top diplomat, emphasized the sanctions' aim to hold those accountable for undermining the rule of law and human rights abuses related to Navalny's mistreatment and eventual death. The decision also follows the EU's condemnation of the recent Russian election results, which they dismissed as illegitimate.
