Putin rarely discusses his children except in vague references to his two daughters, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2022\/04\/07\/putin-daughters-sanction-ukraine-russia\/\">The Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The sanctions also hit the wife and adult child of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Maria Lavrova and Ekaterina Lavrova, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>A senior administration official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/press-briefings\/2022\/04\/06\/background-press-call-by-senior-administration-officials-on-new-economic-costs-on-russia\/\">told<\/a> reporters in a background phone conference Wednesday that U.S. officials are targeting the family members of top Russian officials because those officials are believed to be using their families to protect assets from other sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reason to believe that Putin and many of his cronies and the oligarchs hide their wealth, hide their assets with family members, that place their assets and their wealth in the U.S. financial system but also many other parts of the world. And that\u2019s why the coordination \u2014 the coordinated effort to freeze their assets and seize their physical luxury goods \u2014 their cars, their yachts, their homes, et cetera \u2014 that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important that we act together,\u201d the administration official said.<\/p>\n<p>The sanctions also covered Russia\u2019s largest financial institution, Sberbank, and Russia\u2019s largest private bank, Alfa Bank, and various other \u201ccritical major Russian state-owned enterprises,\u201d according to an administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/04\/06\/fact-sheet-united-states-g7-and-eu-impose-severe-and-immediate-costs-on-russia\/\">fact sheet<\/a>. The sanctions on Sberbank include carve-outs for the Russian energy sector, the administration official confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>The additional sanctions are part of international backlash Putin and Russia are facing after evidence of Russian war crimes was found in areas around Kyiv as the Russian military pulled back. Dozens of residents living in Bucha, Ukraine, when the Russian military took over are believed to have been executed by Russian soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>Videos of Bucha have shown bodies of the slain left in the wake of the Russian military\u2019s withdrawal. The dead have been shown partly stripped with their hands bound, and many witnesses to the Russian occupation have recounted incidents of Russian soldiers summarily executing unarmed Ukrainians.<\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath of the discoveries, U.S. President Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/he-is-a-war-criminal-biden-says-putin-should-face-trial-after-bucha-killings\">called<\/a> for Putin to be tried for war crimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne comment to make before I start the day,\u201d Biden said Monday. \u201cYou may remember I got criticized for calling Putin a war criminal. Well, the truth of the matter, you saw what happened in Bucha. This warrants \u2014 he is a war criminal. But we have to gather the information. We have to continue to provide Ukraine with the weapons they need to continue to fight, and we have to gather all the details so this can be an actual, have a war crime trial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis guy is brutal, and what\u2019s happening in Bucha is outrageous and everyone\u2019s seen it,\u201d Biden added.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
