Background

On February 8, 2021, Vladimir Ashurkov, Executive Director of Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation, recommended the European Union to sanction 35 Russian individuals linked to poisoning and imprisonment of Alexei Navalny. [3]

Earlier, on October 15, 2020, the European Union had imposed sanctions "for the use of chemical weapons for an attempted assassination of Alexei Navalny" on six high-ranking Russian officials and Russian state research institute GosNIIOKhT, which developed chemical weapon agent Novichok. These sanctions include "a travel ban to the EU and asset freezing of individuals and legal entities. In addition, the EU individuals and legal entities are prohibited from providing funds to sanctioned individuals and entities". The UK followed suit on the same day, October 15, 2020. [4]

On March 2, 2021, the European Union imposed sanctions on Russia's chief law enforcement officers in connection with the poisoning of Alexei Navalny. [5] Later that day, the United States imposed sanctions on seven Russian individuals and three organizations in relation to Navalny poisoning and imprisonment. [6]

On March 24, 2021, Canada imposed sanctions on nine Russians on the same grounds. [7]

On August 20, 2021, the UK imposed sanctions on seven FSB officers whom it considers involved in the poisoning. [8] The United States imposed sanctions on nine FSB officers and two organizations. [9] The United States also announced the forthcoming sanctions against Russia for the use of chemical weapons for Navalny poisoning. Sanctions are planned to include additional restrictions on exportation of goods and technologies related to nuclear and missile manufacturing, as well as restrictions on the import of certain types of Russian firearms and ammunition.

On September 22, 2021, the Rules Committee of the United States House of Representatives approved for consideration the US National Defence bill amendment by Representative Tom Malinowski aimed to sanction 35 individuals from the Navalny's list. In the bill they called 'Russian kleptocrats and human rights abusers'. [10] [11]

On October 7, 2021, Helsinki Commission Chairman Senator Ben Cardin and Ranking Member Senator Roger Wicker introduced a bill to the Congress proposing to impose sanctions against individuals on the Navalny 35 list adding them to Global Magnitsky sanctions. [1]
