In total, 210 names were on the list: 114 officials and 96 businessmen, according to Ukrinform.
The list includes: Chief of Staff Presidential Administration Anton Vaino, his deputies Sergey Kiriyenko and Alexey Gromov, Press Secretary for the President of Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, Head of the Government Executive Office Vladislav Surkov, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and 22 Ministers of his Cabinet, Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, Chair of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko, CEO of Rosneft Igor Sechin, CEO of Gazprom Alexey Miller, Chairman and CEO of Sberbank Herman Gref, Director of the Federal Security Service Alexander Bortnikov, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service Sergey Naryshkin, Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin, Governor of Saint-Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko, Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Chaika, Head of The Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin, Director of the National Guard of Russia Viktor Zolotov, businessmen Roman Abramovich, Oleg Deripaska, Yevheniy Kaspersky, Suleyman Kerimov, Vladimir Potanin, Mikhail Fridman, Petr Aven, Arkady and Boris Rotenberg, Gennady Timchenko, Oleg Tinkov, Arkady Volozh, Mikhail Prokhorov, Aleksandr Mamut, Kirill Shamalov and others.
Being included on the list doesn’t mean that the United States will automatically impose sanctions. However, for the figurants of the list the risk of being imposed by sanctions is higher.
If sanctions are imposed against some of the figurants of the “Kremlin Report”, it will most likely be about narrowing of cooperation with European and American banks.
The “Kremlin Report” was drawn up in accordance with the law “On Counteraction to US Opponents by Means of Sanctions”. It was adopted in United States in the summer of 2017 as a reaction to accusations against Russia of interference with the US elections.
In 2014, the US and EU imposed sanctions against Russia due to the annexation of Crimea. Later, sanctions lists have been expanded several times. In particular, Gennady Timchenko, Yuri Kovalchuk, Arkady and Boris Rothenberg – businessmen who are considered close to Vladimir Putin are under the sanctions.
