The Biden administration imposed a raft of sanctions on Russian officials and entities in response to the poisoning and imprisonment of opposition leader Alexey Navalny.
The actions — taken in coordination with the European Union, which also unveiled sanctions — represent the first significant move against Moscow since Joe Biden became President.
The Treasury Department sanctioned seven senior Russian government officials: two of President Vladimir Putin's deputy chiefs of staff, two Russian defense ministers, the Russian prosecutor general, the director of the Federal Penitentiary Service and the head of Russia's security services, the FSB. In addition, the State Department sanctioned the FSB as an entity, a designation that department spokesperson Ned Price said "speaks to where we believe culpability lies."

There didn’t even need to be an investigation. Everyone knew who did it from the get go
@Ramon Gonzalez There was no proof and if your claim was accurate the last thing the Russians would do is let him leave Russia, they had to approve it.
If Putin wanted this guy dead, when he is in Russia, he’d be dead, end of story.
@Zach Dillenger lol than where did the poison come from? It’s only made by the Russian government its like if I found a football and a flag next to a body
Where is the proof?
@Ramon Gonzalez “Germany and guess what the lab results confirmed, Nalvany was POISONED with a poison ONLY generated in Russia” Lol I would be surprised if they said that this is a poison that was made in USA. This is all a show, and people are so stupid that they immediately believe all this. All your evidence, etc., just what you were told on TV
So, we can sanction Russia for poisoning Navalny but not Saudi Arabia for chopping up Kashoggi?
because in the middle east we’re basically fighting alongside the saudis against the russians. life’s complicated, it ain’t fair.
but hey, we’ve done more since biden than cheeto ever did

same as USA, its always US, Russia, China crap, with US being the worst in politics, at least u got a good president now, not a clown like Dump
@Ver Coda#freeAssange
The United States government publicly identified Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia as the murderer of an American resident. Besides or instead of imposing sanctions on M.B.S., Biden appears ready to let the murderer walk. Follow the money, USA should have suspended arms sales to Saudi Arabia, but this is great for private and defense contractors, arms producers, weapon suppliers and of course the corrupt Politicians.
Republican Judge Arrested for Voter Fraud
Yep. Their lies are being exposed.
The Penalty For Being Poisoned by Putin is Prison.
Or was it for Surviving the 3rd attempt.
@TONY You’re blaming Biden, but that was the same US response from Bush 43, Obama, Trump, and every US president and British PM since the Kingdom was discovered to have oil.
@RiteMo LawBks so Russia bad, but Saudi good for chopping journos up. Liberal standards lol
Never forget the Smolensk assassinations.
@Every man That’s your own opinion, so why are you telling me? Liberal or conservatives you need to learn to stay on topic and drop the “whataboutism.” I’m sure you’re probably terrified of Russians, so other people aren’t deal with them.
@Every man Reading comprehension is not one of your talents. You’re better at repeating short simple talking points from far-right media. “Critical thinking bad. Newsman bad. Old man who won election very bad. “
Well the saudi do a lot worse but nobody seems to care about them.
Only a miracle could get Navalny out of prison

Does our actions as a nation divided us or does it bring us together as a nation it is time for those who breaks the law to be held accountable for their actions🤔
Yes. Bush has to be arrested.
The United States government publicly identified Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia as the murderer of an American resident.

Get him out of there NOW!
Wish I knew the story but, despite how loud I put my phone, still couldn’t hear anything.
Meanwhile the U.S. gave Saudi Arabia a pass on the butchering of Jamal Khashoggi.
I can’t believe the report wasn’t released earlier to protect Saudi interests. Shameful
Hows about saudi crown prince ????????
One thing to like about Lavrov: He is 100% reliable. Anytime you need a lie, Lavrov’s your man! Although, maybe you sense a hint of fatigue in his face after a lifetime of shame?
they are doing it cause it gives them an opportunity to show the world they dont want putin on the world stage anymore !!!
Why do you always call Putin The Butcher of Aleppo?
Navalny is basically Will Ferrell’s character in Austin Powers.
I wonder why Trump never talked about Navalny being poisoned.
Because he is Putins friend
Just like US found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?
Gulf of Tonkin as well
I’m still waiting to see sanctions against US which continue to violate human rights
Why are we doing this !? when things Happen here, who gets involved !! i do not get this. sure poison someone is bad, but sanctions we have no authority there.
