President Joe Biden’s administration said it would sanction eight wealthy Russians and their families and impose visa restrictions on 19 others and 47 of their family, as the U.S. and its allies seek to raise pressure on the elites around President Vladimir Putin in response to the invasion of Ukraine. The sanctioned Russians include: Nikolay Tokarev and his wife and daughter; Boris Rotenberg and his wife and sons; Arkady Rotenberg and his sons and daughter; Sergey Chemezov and his wife, son and stepdaughter; Igor Shuvalov and his wife, son, daughter and companies connected to them; Yevgeny Prigozhin and his wife, daughter and son; Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s press secretary; and Alisher Usmanov, as well as his superyacht and private plane. “The United States and governments all over the world will work to identify and freeze the assets Russian elites and their family members hold in our respective jurisdictions – their yachts, luxury apartments, money, and other ill-gotten gains,” the White House said in a statement.
