Germany leads EU call for more sanctions against Russia over Navalny

European Union countries including Germany called on Monday for new sanctions on Moscow over the death of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, as they discussed a package of fresh penalties to mark two years of Russia's war on Ukraine.

Hungary is the only EU state yet to approve the proposed restrictions against nearly 200 more firms and people deemed involved in the war in the bloc's 13th package of sanctions against Russia since Moscow invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.
