Treasury Sanctions Russian Persons in the Crimea Region of Ukraine - five individuals and three entities related to Russia’s occupation of the Crimea region of Ukraine and its severe human rights abuses against the local population.

home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
Sanctions against Russian govt attempts to influence US elections include Alexander Malkevich (designated in 2018 for directing USAReally) and Foundation for National Values Protection(FZNC) & targets related to Yevgeniy Prigozhin's network in Africa
home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
Treasury targets enablers of Prigozhin's Internet Research Agency - Pakistan-based Second Eye Solution and front-companies Fresh Air Farm House, Like Wise, MK Softtech & Mohsin Raza, Mujtaba Raza, Syed Hasnain, Muhammad Hayat, Syed Raza, Shahzad Ahmed
home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
The US is also expelling ten personnel from the Russian diplomatic mission in Washington, DC. The personnel include representatives of Russian intelligence services.

Agree - sanctions seem sweeping in some ways with more definitive details and people/entities identified - but still seems to be focused on network close to the Kremlin vs more expanded oligarch network that used cutouts to interact with Trump circle & GOP

The US-Russia meeting about a Ukraine peace plan not only excluded Ukraine, a main focus is restoring US/Russia relations.

Kremlin spokesman Peskov said talks would be focused on “restoring the entire range of U.S.-Russian relations" as well as Ukraine.
