The United States is set to impose significant sanctions on Russia on Friday over the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny and the ongoing Ukraine conflict, according to President Joe Biden on Tuesday, who did not provide further details.

According to White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan, the latest sanctions on Russia will target a range of items, including the country’s defence and industrial bases, along with sources of revenue for the economy.

The package will “hold Russia accountable for what happened to Mr. Navalny” and for its actions throughout the war in Ukraine, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said.

A senior US official said a sanctions package was already being planned to mark the second anniversary of the war, which Washington will now reconsider and supplement in response to Navalny’s death.
