UK Demands Action on Russia After Navalny Poisoning Confirmation
Conservative shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti Patel has urged the government to intensify its actions against Russia, asserting that current sanctions are being bypassed. Patel advocated for cutting off all financial flows supporting the Russian economy, including the closure of Russian oil refineries, and called for direct action against individuals and businesses enabling Russia’s activities. This comes as the Russian embassy in London vehemently denies any involvement in Alexei Navalny’s death, dismissing Western accusations as baseless propaganda and a mockery of the deceased.
