Highlights

  • Katerina Tikhonova and Maria Vorontsova will be subject to asset freeze and travel ban.
  • It is not clear whether they have ever visited the UK or if they own assets within reach of UK officials.
  • The US imposed sanctions on the women on Wednesday, with a senior US official saying many of Putin’s assets were hidden with family members.
  • Putin has previously said they “live their own lives” but the US government has said there is evidence that those around them have benefited from their father’s power.
  • Neither daughter had been added to the EU’Sisters’ sanctions list on Friday morning.
