The US will announce a major package of sanctions against Russia on Friday over the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny and the two-year Ukraine war, President Joe Biden said on Tuesday.
Biden, speaking to reporters as he departed on a trip to California, did not give details.
The latest sanctions on Russia will target a range of items, including the country's defence and industrial bases, along with sources of revenue for the economy, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said.
The package will "hold Russia accountable for what happened to Mr. Navalny" and for its actions over the course of the war in Ukraine, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said.
