The EU needs to take urgent actions to compensate for @JosepBorrellF's debacle in Moscow. Here are a few ideas:
1. Swiftly sanction the 8 top Kremlin men Navalny has singled out!
2. Prohibit the completion of Nord Stream 2 once & for all!
3. Prohibit golden passports to Kremlin insiders (Cyprus, Malta & Bulgaria in particular)!
4. Sanction Putin's cronies Gennady Timchenko & Boris Rotenberg (naturalized Finnish citizens) & deprive them of Finnish citizenship.
5. Tighten the implementation of the 5th EU Anti-Money-Laundering directive of June 2018 requiring public registries in all EU countries of ultimate beneficiary owners & go after Putin's cronies!
6. Deprive Arkady Rotenberg of his 1 bn euro of prime real estate in Germany.
7. In particular, sanction Roman Abramovich & Alisher Usmanov, Putin's most loyal oligarchs. They are both high on Navalny's list.
