The UK is sanctioning Vladimir Putin’s daughters Katerina Vladimirovna Tikhonova and Maria Vladimirovna Vorontsova under measures to target the “lavish lifestyles” of the Russian President’s inner circle, the Foreign Office has said. The Foreign Office was also targeting the daughters of Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov with travel bans and asset freezes.
A statement said: “The lavish lifestyles of the Kremlin’s inner circle will be further targeted from today as the UK sanctions the adult daughters of President Vladimir Putin and his Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
“Katerina Vladimirovna Tikhonova and Maria Vladimirovna Vorontsova, the daughters of President Putin, and Yekaterina Sergeyevna Vinokurova, daughter of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, will be subject to travel bans and asset freezes.”
