The EU on Thursday sanctioned senior aides to Russian President Vladimir Putin, including the man known as his chef, over the poisoning of opposition figure Alexei Navalny and Kremlin's meddling in Libya's civil war. Yevgeny Prigozhin, nicknamed "Putin's chef" was sanctioned for undermining peace in Libya by supporting the Wagner Group private military company. Six others, including the head of Russia's FSB domestic spy agency, were sanctioned over the attempt to murder Navalny using the Novichok nerve agent. The EU also sanctioned Russia's State Scientific Research Institute for Organic Chemistry and Technology (GosNIIOKhT), which is supposed to be responsible for the destruction of chemical weapons stocks inherited from the Soviet Union.
