EU imposes symbolic sanctions against Russia
On March 1, the EU is to formalize new sanctions against Russia for human rights violations made with regard to Alexei Navalny.
A week ago, foreign ministers of 27 EU member states agreed on a move to impose new sanctions on Russia.
The list of persons, who will not be allowed to either enter or leave the European Union, will include:
the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin;
Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov;
Director of the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN), Alexander Kalashnikov.
Their assets in the EU will be frozen, even though these people are legally prohibited from having any assets abroad, let alone the fact hat Bastrykin has been under sanctions for a long time already.
