U.S. Imposes Sanctions on Russia over Navalny Poisoning
-------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration announced new sanctions against senior Russian
officials Tuesday over last year's poisoning of nationalist opposition
figure Alexei Navalny with the nerve agent Novichok. The sanctions also
target the Russian military's intelligence agency, as well as research
groups thought to be involved in the production of chemical and
biological agents.
