Fiona Hill welcomes "obligatory" new U.S. sanctions on Russia over Navalny poisoning

Washington — Dr. Fiona Hill, who served as a top adviser on Russia to former President Donald Trump, said Sunday that new sanctions the U.S. is readying against Russia in response to the poisoning of Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny are "obligatory" and believes Moscow is "well aware" they are coming.

"The Russians were already put on notice that the death of Navalny would be seen as a really serious event that would basically get some responses as well," Hill said in an interview with "Face the Nation." "So I think, you know, the Russians were certainly forewarned and, you know, probably well aware that these sanctions were coming."
