Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} Seven Russians have been sanctioned by the UK following the poisoning of Alexei Navalny. Government officials believe those sanctioned were “directly responsible” for planning or carrying out the attack on Mr Navalny on 20 August last year. Foreign secretary Dominic Raab said: “Since the horrific poisoning of Alexei Navalny took place a year ago, the UK has been at the forefront of the international response against this appalling act. We urge Russia to declare its full stock of novichok nerve agents.” Mr Navalny, a consistent thorn in the side of president Vladimir Putin, blames the Kremlin for targeting him with novichok – the same nerve agent used in the Salisbury poisonings in 2018, for which the Russian intelligence services have also been blamed.
