The European Union is thinking about new sanctions against Russia because of Navalny. This was stated by the ambassador of the association in Moscow, he is quoted by RIA Novosti.
New restrictive measures are being discussed at different levels of the EU leadership. Details have not yet been specified.
On January 17, Navalny was detained at Sheremetyevo airport. This happened on the basis of the decree of the head of the Federal Penitentiary Service in Moscow, according to which the blogger was put on the wanted list for systematic violations of the conditions of the probationary period. The UFSIN noted that the detainee’s lawyer was aware of this decision, and also got acquainted with the submission of the Criminal Execution Inspectorate (UII) on the cancellation of the conditional sentence and the execution of the sentence imposed by the sentence.
Against this background, the Foreign Ministers of the Baltic States in a joint statement called on the European Union (EU) to impose sanctions against Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry called on the West to respect the national legislation of sovereign states.
