U.S. Sanctions Don't Apply to Russians Who Plotted Biden Business Deals
Wendell Husebø
U.S. sanctions applied by the Biden administration on numerous Russian oligarchs do not apply to two Russian oligarchs who paid the Biden family business, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said Thursday.
Yelena Baturina and Vladimir Yevtushenkov, two powerful members of the Russian oligarchy, have escaped the crushing sanctions from the Biden administration levied on the Russian elites as a result of the Ukrainian war.
The State Department has restricted the visas of 893 Russian Federation members. According to the Atlantic Council, the U.S. has more than 2,700 sections against Russia. Since the Ukrainian war began last year, the Biden administration has imposed approximately 1,500 new and 750 amended sanctions and export controls against Russia.
But the Russian oligarchs Yelena Baturina and Vladimir Yevtushenkov are somehow immune President Joe Biden’s reach.
