The United States will unveil a “crushing package” of sanctions against Russia in the coming days, which will include “hundreds and hundreds and hundreds” of new restrictions, said Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, speaking at the Washington Center for Strategic and International Studies. The broadcast was on the center's website.

According to Nuland, the new measures will also be aimed at “closing gaps” in existing sanctions imposed due to military actions in Ukraine , and not allowing them to be circumvented. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo later told Reuters that the measures would affect more than 500 facilities, including in the Russian military-industrial complex, as well as companies in third countries that “help make it easier for Russia to access the goods it needs.”

Some of the measures will be aimed at those whom the United States considers guilty of the death of Alexei Navalny in the Polar Wolf colony, the Deputy Secretary of State said. The European Union also promised to introduce sanctions against Russia in connection with Navalny’s death. On February 21 , Great Britain announced restrictions against the leadership of the colony . The Kremlin called statements by Western leaders about Russia’s guilt in the death of the oppositionist unacceptable and “boorish.” The medical report, which was shown to Navalny’s mother Lyudmila, stated that he died of natural causes.

“I will wait and let the White House announce it [the new sanctions package],” Nuland added. The White House previously reported that this would happen on February 23 .

This week, sanctions were imposed by the UK on the second anniversary of hostilities in Ukraine, including the new CEO of ALROSA Pavel Marinychev, the chairman of the board of directors of Mechel Igor Zyuzin, Arctic LNG 2 and its director Oleg Karpushin. The European Union plans to approve the 13th package of sanctions against Russia by February 24.

Russia considers sanctions illegal and ineffective. At the same time, the Kremlin stated that the restrictions would remain in place for many years. “We proceed from this when building our plans,” said presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov .
