US lists 114 politicians, 96 businessmen in 'Kremlin Report'

The US government released its long-awaited “Kremlin Report” on Tuesday, profiling Kremlin-connected Russian elites and assessing the impact of potential new sanctions.

The list includes 114 individuals deemed by the Treasury Department to be senior Russian political figures.

It also includes 96 people deemed to be “oligarchs,” each of whom has an estimated net worth of one billion US dollars or more, according to the department.

The seven-page unclassified list, which does not trigger sanctions right away, features Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and top officials in Russian intelligence agencies.

Also on the list were the chief executives of big state-owned companies such as energy giant Rosneft and Sberbank.

According to the Treasury, each figure in the “Kremlin report” has an estimated net worth of 1 billion US dollars.

Drafted on the basis of the US legislation six months ago, the “Kremlin report” also has classified annexes, which include individuals with a lower official position or with a net worth below 1 billion dollars, as well as companies with state ownership of at least 25 percent and with 2016 revenues of two billion dollars or more, AFP, Xinhua News Agency report.
