The European Union and the United States began once again acting in concert against Russia, this time over Alexey Navalny’s alleged poisoning with the incredible, one-of-a-kind “super-duper” nerve agent Novichok. On March 2nd, both announced coordinated sanctions, which from the US include export and visa restrictions.

These measures are redundant as they limit defense exports to Russia, something which is already blocked. However, they could even limit space exploration exports and services. The measures come as a result of an investigation by the United States intelligence community, which concluded with “high confidence” that Alexey Navalny was poisoned with the Novichok chemical agent.

It is a type of poison that is incredibly dangerous as it has led to Russia being subjected to sanctions over its purported use on more than one occasion – currently over Navalny and previously over Sergei and Yulia Skripal.
