WASHINGTON, Feb 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. will announce a major package of sanctions against Russia on Friday over the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny and the two-year Ukraine war, President Joe Biden said on Tuesday. Biden, speaking to reporters as he departed on a trip to California, did not give details but said he would provide more information about the package on Friday. The package will "hold Russia accountable for what happened to Mr. Navalny" and for its actions over the course of the war in Ukraine, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said, without providing details on the sanctions measures. Speaking to reporters on a conference call, Kirby said the United States is pressing Russia for "complete transparency" on how Navalny died last Friday at an Arctic penal colony. The prison service said at the time that Navalny fell unconscious after a walk and died. Biden has blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin. The United States already has issued a wide array of sanctions related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

I would not be surprised if “our” intelligence is in cahoots with theirs.
Exactly!
Oh, no! We can’t just ENFORCE the laws ALREADY ON THE BOOKS!
We have to have NEW, globalist/UN styled laws, you silly plebs.
Double Secret Probation.
Rhetorical question :)
Are there any plans to sanction Ukraine for KILLING Gonzalo Lira while they had him Locked Up???
Sanctions? Baloney.
I wish the world would sanction us, so maybe we would develop our own industries again
“Double Secret “ Sanctions.😂
I agree.
We weren’t imposing “major” restrictions before?
____________________________________________________
Yeah, exactly...this is all a PR stunt to make “the masses” think that the government is really putting the screws to Putin now.
How could we possibly have any sanctions left?
Our federal government clown show. Sanctions on a moralistic grounds?
What happened to Navalny was horrible, but so is what is happening to Trump. I know the Executive Branch is not going to sanction itself, but in my opinion this is hypocrisy from the Biden gang .
Yea, but are sanctions really going to do anything to help at this point? Nope. The war in Ukraine continues, Putin still in power, and China gets closer to Russia. Yes, it’s hypocrisy in the Biden and his puppet master are bigger dictators than Putin, IMHO, and the Russian Collusion report spells that out. Biden administration act of ‘sanctions’ has no teeth, doesn’t help, and is just political finger food for the miss-informed who watch MSNBC and don’t have a real clue. Biden’s actions are those of a Dictator who just is trying to ‘spin’ that he is less of a dictator than Putin.
Love everyone's fake outrage - when nobody really gives a single f about this Navalny d00d.
Screeech, weeeeeeep, whine - duh-herp...duh-derp.
Zeepers love the war-whore Haley and pants-$**ting president starting WW3 over this douchebag.
Russia should impose sanctions on the US for the Jan 6’rs. Who has the high moral ground?
People here have always been fine with death to traitors.
Jonathan Pollard? Bradley Manning? I think the FR consensus was that incarceration was money wasted - and both of those traitors are free as birds.
In 1976 N Koreans killed two US soldiers. Dems at that time did not pick a political fight with Gerald Ford over the killing because “Politics end at the water’s edge.” Today there is no limit on politics except raw power. I am ashamed of the Biden gang, but that is how the world sees us.
Not ONE STINKING word about the American journalist killed by Zelenski the obsession over Ukraine is looking like the obsession over the Covid vax, SOMETHING very nefarious going on here!!
As punishment US state department will flood Russian TV airwaves with Hillary,N- Haley, and Biden speeches 24-7, until Russia starts doing what America tells it to do.
How about Assange? If he had not exposed Hillary, she could have won in 2016.
