Vladimir Putin’s reported girlfriend, gymnast Alina Kabaeva, was hit with US sanctions in the latest round of measures over Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.
Kabaeva was sanctioned “for being or having been a leader, official, senior executive officer, or member of the board of directors of the Government of the Russian Federation,” a Treasury Department statement said.
Several other oligarchs believed to be close to Putin were also hit with US business bans, including four officials Russia has named to administer occupied territories in Ukraine, and around two dozen high technology institutes and companies, including key state-backed electronics entities.
