The State Department says a "major sanctions package" will be unveiled Friday to hold Russia "accountable" for the death of Putin critic Alexei Navalny.
Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"As the White House announced this morning at President Biden's direction, we will be announcing a major sanctions package on Friday to hold Russia accountable for Navalny's death in prison and for its actions over the course of the vicious and brutal war they have waged in Ukraine for the past two years," State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters at a briefing Tuesday.
"The Kremlin has poisoned Navalny, imprisoned him unjustly, kept him in harsh conditions and denied him medical care," Miller continued.
