New York.It has announced fresh imposition of more than 500 sanctions on Russia for waging war against Ukraine and the death in custody of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

In response, Russia’s Foreign Ministry has said that the list of EU officials and leaders banned from entering Russia has been extended.
