EU sanctions senior Putin aides over Navalny, Libya
BRUSSELS, Oct 15, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The EU on Thursday hit aides to Russian President Vladimir Putin, including the man known as his chef, over the poisoning of opposition leader Alexey Navalny and Kremlin meddling in Libya’s civil war.
The EU said Yevgeny Prigozhin, nicknamed “Putin’s chef” because his company has done catering for the Kremlin, was undermining peace in Libya by supporting the Wagner private military company.
