Gruesome reports of civilian murders in the Ukrainian town of Bucha amid Russia's ongoing attacks on Ukraine have prompted U.S. and European officials to target Russian President Vladimir Putin's daughters in the latest round of economic sanctions.
The pressure campaign comes on top of a series of sets of economic sanctions that U.S. officials say have knocked back years of growth in the Russian economy – with the hope that the consequences will force Putin to change course.
This time, U.S. and European Union officials are eyeing Putin's two daughters, Maria Vorontsova, 36, and Katerina Tikhonova, 35.

Can't say that the American Empire isn't petty.
Worse than a clique of junior high school girls.
Don't see The point of sanctioning his daughters. This all seems kind of petty to me.
the sanctions this timego well beyond the daughters. that is just the one you pick upon. What would you do? allow him to continue his genocide?
the sanctions against family is done because family often are the ones who conceal the money for the real owner. In addition:
The “full blocking” sanctions on Russia’s largest financial institution, Sberbank, and its largest private bank, Alfa Bank, are meant to grind Russia’s economy further to a halt. They will prohibit transactions with any American financial institutions and freeze assets held by the banks in the US.
“They will not be able to touch any of their money. They will not be able to do any business here,” Biden said.
Sberbank holds nearly one-third of Russia’s total banking sector assets, and the White House says that with Wednesday’s sanctions, more than two-thirds of the Russian banking sector are now blocked.
“The sad reality is Putin’s war will make it harder for Russians to travel abroad. It means their debit cards may not work. They may only have the option to buy knockoff phones and knockoff clothes, the shelves at stores may be empty,” a senior administration official told reporters.
“The reality is the country’s descending into economic and financial and technological isolation and at this rate, it will go back to Soviet-style standards from the 1980s,” the official went on.
In targeting Putin’s two adult daughters, the US hopes to freeze any assets the Russian President may be hiding with them, according to the senior administration official. Without detailing which of Putin’s assets could be hiding with Mariya Putina and Katerina Tikhonova, the official said the practice was common among the Russian elite.
Members of Russia’s Security Council, including former President and Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, are also being targeted by individual sanctions. The US has already sanctioned more than 140 oligarchs and their family members and over 400 Russian government officials, the senior official said.
As for petty: YOU ARE THE PETTY ONES AND SOUND LIKE SCHOOL KIDDIES and you care more to dump shit on Biden then on Putin and Russia.
Admiral Josh Painter:
"This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."
Putin stole money. That is the truth and it is a no brainer. Putin hid some of that money with relatives and/or used it to set them up for life. Another no brainer.
Here is, where I have a problem. The US and elites around the world do it too. Joe Biden is a case in point. So are the Clintons. Did Chelsea really earn her 600,000 a year gig with NBC? Did Chelsea earn her wat into Oxford or was that yet another expensive gift to the Clintons?
Is confiscating money fork Putin's daughters a military necessity. If it is not, why not use the courts with a full blown trial?
Once this precedent is set, when are prominent Republicans going to have their assets seized?
I fear an American victory as much as a Russian one.
"What would you do? allow him to continue his genocide?"
Ah, false dichotomy guy with his PhAllacies.
What is the red line for seizing assets?
What about Chinese red princelings.
How about the sons of Iranian autocrats?
Have not thousands of Uighurs been disappeared or murdered? Red Princelings spend butt loads of money. Here is a true story:
Princes fly into Iowa City Municipal Airport to attend Iowa University. The luxury car dealership picks them up at the airport and drives them to the car lot to pick up their new car. I bet the fathers of all those princelings earned their money on the up and up.
Where my kids went to school at the #2 school in the nation. The princelings and princesses live in luxury apartment and through out their year old computer peripherals.
So why is there a difference in prosecuting Chinese and Russian ill gotten gains?
I is copy and butt blast artist!
"The "full blocking" sanctions on Russia's largest financial institution, Sberbank ..."

I repeats anything a Democrat official or MSM journalist prints or says.
I is sooooo schmart!
Were Iraq and Libya genocides?
You didn't care about the poverty the Ukrainians were living in, when Joe Biden and other American officials were fleecing them.
No, your "Fuck Russia" is you engaging in "Two Minutes" of Hate, when the Democrats dog whistled.
Iraq?
The country where the US held elections? the country where there are still elections. The country were The Marines and Iraqi Army jointly patrolled?
Libya?
The US had no boots on the ground. Russia has had boots on the ground. We should investigate Wagner for war crimes in Libya.
if you have nothing to contribute that puts a slant on an issue, then do what you do: badmouth this and that, either the Other Political Side or the person commenting. A sure sign a Know Nothing
I was in Iraq fool. Where were you? Jerking off after viewing porn online?
Exactly, us they will be nagging the shit out of daddy
