　　According to the "Central News Agency", on June 20, Sullivan said in an interview with US media: "We have sanctioned Russia for the poisoning of Navariny," "We have made Russia pay the price together with the EU."

　　Sullivan went on to say: "We are planning to adopt another set of sanctions... We will not be merciful."

　　In response, Moscow warned that it would launch a counterattack.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakhalova said: "We have always responded to the illegal sanctions imposed by the United States with lawful and legitimate actions. It is strange that some people in Washington just like to go around in circles and turn over old accounts endlessly."

　　Russian ambassador to the United States Antonov said that he regrets that the United States has announced that it will impose a new round of sanctions on Russia, and that the path the United States has chosen will not bring good results.

Antonov said: "It is a pity that the path chosen by our American counterparts will not bring us good results. It is not the direction given by the Russian and American presidents."

　　Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Biden held talks at the La Grange Villa in Geneva on June 16.

Biden said a few days ago that if the imprisoned Navalny dies, it will not only hurt Russia's relations with other countries in the world, but will also severely damage US-Russian relations.

　　Navalny is a well-known Russian opposition figure.

In August 2020, he suddenly fell into a coma on the way to Moscow, suspected of being poisoned, and then the plane made an emergency landing in Omsk.

The local doctor said that no trace of poison was found in Navari's body.

Navalny was later taken by a special plane to a hospital in Berlin, Germany for treatment.

During the treatment, laboratories in Germany, France, Sweden and other countries confirmed that Navalny had been attacked by "Novijok" nerve agents.

　　Navalny returned to Russia in January 2021.

In February, he was sentenced to three and a half years imprisonment by the Moscow District Court for fraud. The actual time he served was two and eight months.

In March, the US government imposed sanctions on several individuals and entities in Russia over the poisoning incident in Navalline.

　　The Russian side has always denied the "assassination" of Navalny.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Peskov once said that sanctions imposed on Russia due to the Navaline incident will only worsen already tense Russia-US relations.
