On July 3, 2026, the European Union announced new sanctions targeting six Russian scientists and researchers linked to the death of Alexei Navalny. Navalny, an outspoken critic of the Russian government and a prominent opposition leader, was poisoned in 2020, an act widely attributed to Russian authorities. The EU sanctions include asset freezes and travel bans across member states.

The individuals sanctioned are allegedly involved in the development of chemical weapons, specifically the nerve agent Novichok, which was identified in samples collected from Navalny's body. The EU's decision to impose these measures reflects ongoing tensions between the bloc and Russia, particularly related to human rights issues and the use of chemical agents for political repression. The EU Council emphasized its commitment to holding accountable those responsible for the attack on Navalny.
