Russia's economy was under pressure on Thursday, September 3, as calls mounted for new Western sanctions over Germany's revelation that opposition leader Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent.

Moscow's RTS stock exchange also fell more than 3% after the German announcement, and by Thursday morning had not recovered its losses.after Germany said medical tests on the 44-year-old Kremlin critic had given"unequivocal evidence" that he had been afflicted by military-grade Novichok.
