Navalny urges tougher sanctions on Russian oligarchs

Alexey Navalny, the head of the Russian opposition, has urged the West to sanction Russian oligarchs even more.

“Let us not forget: sanctions are needed to force the aggressor to stop the war. To put pressure on him. And there are complex solutions here like the oil and gas embargo. But then there are really simple ones: personal sanctions,” he said in his appeal from the prison camp where he is serving a nine-year term for fraud that rights activists have criticized and called that it is politically motivated.

“They don’t require anything but political will,” he added.
