The European Union is also thinking of Vladimir Putin’s daughters who could end up on the next list of sanctions, the fifth package of measures envisaged by the EU. Reason: a reaction to the war crimes committed in Bucha. Katerina Tikhonova, 35, and Mariya Vorontsova, 36, are in fact in the latest draft of the EU’s list of objectives, among which are oligarchs, politicians and some of those in Putin’s entourage. To write it and to anticipate it is the WSJ.
Very little is known about the personal lives of Tikhonova and Vorontosva, the fruit of the marriage of the head of the Kremlin with Lyudmila Shkrebneva. As reported by the US tabloid, once the EU ambassadors’ go-ahead has arrived, “the two women should be subject to asset freezes and travel bans across the continent”. The list, however, is not final and may still change before it takes effect.
Who are the mysterious daughters of Russian President Vladimir Putin
The Wall Street Journal cites diplomatic sources aware of the dossier as diplomatic sources. According to the diplomats – writes the WJS – who would have viewed the dossier this would be “a move that would add the closest family members of the Russian leader to a growing list of people sanctioned in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine”. Not only. Also from the columns of the US economic newspaper it emerges that «Putin never speaks publicly about his family. He has two daughters with his ex-wife, Lyudmila Putina, according to the Kremlin. It is not known whether the Russian leader has other children and it is not clear whether the daughters targeted in EU sanctions are the ones he has publicly acknowledged ”write Laurence Norman and Ann M. Simmon.
