London: United Kingdom imposed sanctions 'targeting the lavish lifestyles' of the daughters of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Sergei Lavrov over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, according to AFP News Agency. 

According to Reuters, an update to Britain's sanctions list announced asset freezes on Putin's adult daughters Katerina Tikhonova and Maria Vorontsova, and Sergeyevna Vinokurova, the daughter of foreign minister Sergei Lavrov. All three were sanctioned by the United States earlier this week. 

The lavish lifestyles of the Kremlin’s inner circle will be further targeted from today as the UK sanctions the daughters of President Vladimir Putin and his Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Katerina Vladimirovna Tikhonova and Maria Vladimirovna Vorontsova, the daughters of President Putin, and Yekaterina Sergeyevna Vinokurova, daughter of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, will be subject to travel bans and asset freezes.

The UK has coordinated these sanctions with the US, in another show of global unity on action against Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. This follows the UK’s sanctioning of Polina Kovaleva, Sergey Lavrov’s step-daughter on 25 March.

Last week, the US claimed that Putin's daughters have wealth in their name. The daughters of Putin- Katerina is a tech executive whose work supports the Russian government and its defence industry. And Maria, as claimed by the US, leads government-funded programs that have received billions of dollars from the Kremlin for genetics research, and are personally overseen by Putin.
