The US Treasury announced the imposition of sanctions against senior Russian officials and their children. This was reported to journalists by a representative of the American administration, TASS reports.

The head of the FSB, Alexander Bortnikov, the deputy head of the presidential administration of Russia, Sergei Kiriyenko, and the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Fradkov, were on the black list. The children of officials, Denis Bortnikov, Vladimir Kiriyenko and Petr Fradkov, as well as relatives of these families, also fell under the sanctions.

“These people and their relatives are completely blocked,” he said.

The Ministry of Finance also confirmed the introduction of restrictions against Promsvyazbank, VEB and their 42 subsidiaries.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden said that Washington is introducing new sanctions against Russia and will tighten them depending on the situation in Ukraine.

In particular, the restrictions will affect the sovereign debt of Russia - this means that Washington cuts off the Russian government from Western funding, he stressed.
