gated-article-body\">\n<p class=\"speakable\">The State Department announced Tuesday that the U.S. will be unveiling a \u2018major sanctions package\u2019 against Russia later this week to hold them \u2018accountable\u2019 for the death of jailed Putin critic Alexei Navalny.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">The latest wave of sanctions to target the Russian government will be revealed on Friday, one day before the second anniversary of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As the White House announced this morning at President Biden\u2019s direction, we will be announcing a major sanctions package on Friday to hold Russia accountable for Navalny\u2019s 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,\u2019 State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters at a briefing Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The Kremlin has poisoned Navalny, imprisoned him unjustly, kept him in harsh conditions and denied him medical care,\u2019 Miller continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is the Russian government that is responsible for Navalny\u2019s death while in detention and now in any other society, in a free democratic society, we would see openness and transparency as his family seeks more information about their beloved son, husband and father,\u2019 he added. \u2018But of course, in Russia, openness and transparency remain in short supply.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Navalny died last Friday at the IK-3 penal colony in Kharp in northern Russia. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The country\u2019s prison agency said the 47-year-old opposition leader collapsed following a walk, but Navalny\u2019s cause of death remains unknown, and his wife is accusing Putin of poisoning him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>President Biden\u00a0said Friday that there is \u2018no doubt\u2019 it was a \u2018consequence of something that Putin and his thugs did.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Russia though has brushed off the accusations from Biden and other Western officials, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying Monday, \u2018We consider it absolutely unacceptable to make such, well, frankly obnoxious statements,\u2019 according to Reuters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The State
