The Guardian: oligarchs from the Russian Federation are in a panic due to new sanctions going to the USA
Russian oligarchs are traveling en masse to Washington with lobbyists and lawyers to understand what to expect from new sanctions, writes on Tuesday, November 28, columnist for The Guardian Natalie Nougered.
Dan Fried, an analyst at the Atlantic Council, told Nugered about this. According to the columnist, Fried admitted that he had never seen "anything like it". First of all, the Russian oligarchs are worried about whether a black list of businessmen will be drawn up against whom personal sanctions will be imposed. Natalie Nugered notes that the sanctions, which were voted unanimously in the US Parliament, are not convenient for both Russian President Vladimir Putin and his colleague Donald Trump, who wanted to build closer relations with the Russian president. This, according to The Guardian observer, explains why the US presidential administration has not yet implemented the sanctions.
The new U.S. sanctions against Russia came after the Democratic Party email hack, in which U.S. intelligence agencies blamed hackers controlled by the Russian government. The Russian government denies the allegations. On October 27, it was reported that the Trump administration had begun implementing sanctions legislation .
