Vladimir Putin will pay 'an even steeper price' for his war in Ukraine and the death of opposition leader in a grisly Arctic penal colony last week, US president Biden declared today as he slapped Russia with 500 new sanctions today.'These sanctions will target individuals connected to Navalny's imprisonment as well as Russia's financial sector, defense industrial base, procurement networks and sanctions evaders across multiple continents,' Biden said in a bold statement Friday. The new restrictions were described as 'crushing' by a high-level State Department official on Thursday, who also claimed they would target officials 'directly involved in Navalny's death'. Moscow still denies involvement in the shock death last Friday.
