The United States today announced a new set of sanctions to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to abandon the war in Ukraine, particularly targeting his close friend and "financier" Sergei Pavlovich Roldugin and a real estate company and super yachts owned by Russian oligarchs.
The US Treasury, State Department and Commerce Department are targeting a whole host of new oligarchs or members of Moscow's "elite", including Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
Several yachts that Washington says the Russian president regularly uses are also on the U.S. blacklist.
