US ‘Navalny’ sanction to Russia

In the statement issued by the US Treasury Department, it was reported that the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) once again took action to hold Russia responsible for the poisoning of Navalny 3 years ago.

Recalling that Navalny was imprisoned upon his return to Russia in January 2021, the statement recalled that he was sentenced to 19 years in prison on August 4 on “extremism” charges.

In the statement, it was indicated that OFAC will impose sanctions on Alexey Alexandrovich Alexandrov, Konstantin Kudryavtsev, Ivan Vladimirovich Osipov and Vladimir Alexandrovich Panyaev, who were involved in Navalny’s poisoning. It was indicated that these people were also included in the scope of the sanctions in 2021.

“KREMLIN VOLUNTEER EXECUTIVES”

US Treasury Department Assistant Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson, whose assessments are included in the statement, said they reminded Russian President Vladimir Putin and his administration, with sanctions, that there are also consequences for violating the human rights of the Russian people. like waging an unjustified war against Ukraine.

Stating that the 2020 assassination attempt on Navalny represents the Kremlin’s “disregard for human rights,” Nelson stressed that they will continue to use available authorities to hold the Kremlin’s “willing executioners” to account.

VISA RESTRICTION INSTALLED

The spokesman for the US State Department, Matthew Miller, also stated in his written statement on the subject that they applied visa restrictions to the people in question because they were involved in a “serious violation of human rights.”

Saying today’s sanctions remind Russia of the consequences of violating internationally recognized human rights, Miller said the United States will continue to use its powers to promote accountability in such actions.

Miller stated that they condemned the injustice against Navalny and reiterated his call for Navalny’s immediate release.
