Sanctions against Russia should be severe, Polish PM tells Bloomberg

Russia should face "very strong sanctions" following the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny and Germany should drop support for a controversial Russian gas link, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told Bloomberg in an interview broadcast on Tuesday. "The case of Alexei Navalny is a very sad example of how Russia is treating its citizens and opposition leaders and this should be not only condemned but there should be very strong sanctions and interventions following suit," Morawiecki said, talking to Bloomberg the day before on the sidelines of a conference on foreign direct investment in Warsaw.
