European Union countries including Germany called on Monday for new sanctions on Moscow over the death of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, as they discussed a package of fresh penalties to mark two years of Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Hungary is the only EU state yet to approve the proposed restrictions against nearly 200 more firms and people deemed involved in the war in the bloc’s 13th package of sanctions against Russia since Moscow invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

    The first time the russian government tried to murder Navalny with poison he was saved by Germany. I feel there is a special connection so it kinda makes sense for them to take the lead on new sanctions.
