"Biden Imposes Sanctions on 500 Russia-Linked Targets in Response to Navalny's Death"
TL;DR
President Biden met with Yulia Navalnaya and her daughter, expressing admiration for Alexei Navalny's courage and legacy. He appeared to mistakenly refer to Yulia as "Yolanda" during a subsequent statement to the press. The meeting comes ahead of the announcement of new sanctions against Russia in response to Navalny's death and Moscow's actions in Ukraine. Biden's administration has gradually increased sanctions on Russian officials and businesspeople, but some individuals with past connections to the Kremlin and Russia's defense industry have not been included.
