Russia Says U.S. Sanctions for Navalny Poisoning Will Fail as Putin s Popularity Plummets

Moscow has condemned U.S. sanctions aimed at punishing the Kremlin for the poisoning of opposition politician Alexei Navalny. At the same time, Navalny s biggest target, President Vladimir Putin, faces waning support among Russians to stay in power beyond 2024.
Washington said it would sanction seven senior Russian officials following an intelligence assessment that concluded with high confidence the Federal Security Service (FSB) was behind Navalny s poisoning by the Novichok nerve agent in August 2020.
Their U.S. assets will be frozen, and any U.S. transactions with them will be subject to prosecution in the first sanctions on Russia imposed by the administration of President Joe Biden since he took office.
