The EU has agreed to impose sanctions against Russian officials who it believes poisoned and killed Alexei Navalny, an opposition leader. The sanctions will include a travel ban and asset freeze for Belarus officials that were believed to have been involved.
European officials believe that Navalny was poisoned with Novichok, a weapon of choice for Russian assassinations. Russia denies this and has asked for more evidence from Germany, which is where Navalny died in August.
