President Joe Biden met with the family of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, expressing support for their democratic efforts and human rights in Russia.

Yulia Navalnaya, Navalny's wife, alleged that Russian officials are pressuring her to bury her husband in secret.

Biden announced intentions to impose new sanctions on Russia, targeting defense, industrial sectors, and economic revenue, in response to Navalny's death and the Ukraine conflict.

The upcoming sanctions reflect escalating tensions between the U.S. and Russia, and underscore personal accountability placed on President Putin.

Concerns are mounting over President Biden's age and capacity for a second term, alongside issues with his handling of classified documents, despite no charges from Special Counsel Robert Hur.

Despite existing sanctions, Russia's economy and arms industry continue to grow, leading to skepticism about the impact of new sanctions and considerations for arming Ukraine.

Former President Donald Trump has drawn parallels between himself and Navalny, citing perceived persecution.
