Earlier this month, the United States and Britain both announced sanctions against Putin’s daughters – Katerina Vladimirovna Tikhonova and Maria Vladimirovna Vorontsova – because they said they are believed to be hiding the Putin’s wealth.
Putin’s daughter Katerina is a tech executive whose work supports the Russian government and its defence industry, according to details in the U.S. sanctions package announced earlier this month.
His other daughter Maria leads government-funded programs that have received billions of dollars from the Kremlin toward genetics research, and are personally overseen by Putin, the United States said.
