This is the best summary I could come up with:
The White House has announced that a new package of sanctions against Russia is set to go into effect following the death of opposition leader Aleksei Navalny in a Siberian prison camp.
That was after Russian prison authorities announced earlier on Friday that Mr Navalny “felt unwell” after going for a walk and became unconscious “almost immediately”.
On Monday, she accused Russian authorities of hiding her husband’s body and “refusing to give it to his mother”.
Upon being released from care, Mr Navalny and his wife returned to Russia, where he was promptly arrested at a Moscow airport.
The president also used the opposition leader’s death to argue for more aid for Ukraine in the face of indiscriminate violence and attacks on dissent from the Russian state.
On Monday, a reporter asked Mr Biden: “Would you go as far as to say that Aleksei Navalny’s blood is on the hands of House Republicans right now?”
