New sanctions are expected to be announced against her according to current statements by Germany’s Foreign Minister, Annalena Burbok. Specifically, according to German Foreign Minister, the EU will adopt new sanctions against President Vladimir Putin’s supporters after the presidential elections in Russia, which were criticized as a hoax. “Today we will launch sanctions due to Alexei Navalni’s death,” the green politician announced Monday at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels. “The elections in Russia were an election without choice.” Burbok explained that the election process not only showed President Putin’s malicious behaviour towards his own people, but also that he violated the United Nations Charter. The fact that the so-called elections were also held in parts of Ukraine, parts of Moldova and parts of Georgia was contrary to international law.
