The European Union is set to sanction Russians linked to the poisoning of Vladimir Putin’s most prominent critic, Alexey Navalny, with the decision likely to be approved this week.
Four individuals will be targed by the measures, according to three people familiar with the matter. The list will include senior law enforcement officials in Moscow and St. Petersburg, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the process is private.
