In 2019, the elusive daughter had given an interview with state-owned TV channel Russia 1 during which she dropped interesting information about her life. But even in this case, there is a limit: private life, which no one has the right to trespass.

The official added on a call with reporters that the U.S. has reason to believe that Putin and his cronies hide their wealth with family members, and said, "We believe that many of Putin's assets are hidden, with family members and that's why we're targeting them." The new round of sanctions includes a ban on all new investments in Russia, increased sanctions on two major financial institutions in Russia -- Sberbank and Alfa-Bank -- as well as on major Russian state-owned enterprises, and sanctions on Russian government officials and their family members -- including Putin's daughters.

The official said that the administration on Monday had “cut off Russia’s ability to use its frozen central bank funds to make debt payments,” requiring Moscow to find “new sources of dollars from outside the U.S. and to find a new payment route other than U.S. banks, to avoid falling into default.” Other sanctions include a ban on new investment in Russia, which will be imposed with an executive order by President Biden. It adds to the exit of nearly 600 multinational companies, the administration official said, and robs the Russian economy of “private sector know-how and skills that travel with investment.” The senior administration official said the U.S. and allies are “intensifying the most severe sanctions ever levied on a major economy” and that the result is to send Russia “into economic and financial and technological isolation.” The official added the country will “go back to Soviet-style living standards from the 1980s.” A senior administration official said the measures are being imposed in alignment with allies in the Group of Seven nations and the European Union and are in response to “the sickening brutality” recently discovered in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha following the retreat of Russian forces. “Any transaction, in any currency with a U.S. person or U.S. institution is prohibited,” the official said of the full blocking sanctions, targeting Russian efforts to receive payment in currencies other than the U.S. dollar to undercut sanctions.

They are into science and education," Putin said when asked about his daughters.

They just live their own lives." My daughters speak three European languages fluently." Bloomberg also reported that the European Union was planning to sanction Putin's daughters, citing unnamed sources.

She also used to compete in acrobatic rock’n’roll dance contests. Ms Tikhonova is an academic who was appointed to run an artificial intelligence institute at Moscow State University in 2020. She was born in Leningrad.

Russian president has rarely spoken publicly about daughters Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova.

Recently a group of Amsterdammers appealed to Vorontsova to plead with her father to end the invasion of Ukraine. A sign placed on land owned by the couple reads: “Less than 2,000km from your peaceful piece of free land, your father is decimating an entire free country and its people. Tikhonova worked in various roles at Moscow State University before, in 2020, she was appointed the head of a new $1.7bn “artificial intelligence issues and intellectual systems” institute at the university. In 2014 some Dutch neighbours called for her to be expelled from the country after the downing of MH17 by pro-Russia forces over Ukraine. An investigation by Reuters in 2015 estimated that the couple had corporate holdings worth more than $2bn, as well as a luxury £4m beachfront villa in the French resort of Biarritz. The time when dictators and oligarchs could rob their own countries and live carelessly in villas in Europe is past.” Katerina Tikhonova, 35, the younger daughter, was born in Dresden in 1986 while Putin was working as a KGB spy.

"Shamalov senior is a shareholder in Bank Rossiya, which U.S. officials have described as the personal bank of the Russian elite." Putin's elder daughter Maria studied biology at St. Petersburg University and medicine at Moscow State University, according to the Reuters investigation. No estimates were immediately available for their assets and holdings. "The president has no assets other than those he has declared." This was in addition to other property and assets.

The sanctions contain absurd claims about some assets," Peskov said. She was pursuing a biomedical career specializing in the endocrine system in 2015, as a doctoral candidate at the Endocrinology Research Centre in Moscow, and is the co-author of a book about "idiopathic stunting" in children, the Reuters report said. She is also heavily involved in genetic research work, which Putin has in the past described as a field that will "determine the future of the whole world." "We have reason to believe that Putin, and many of his cronies, and the oligarchs, hide their wealth, hide their assets, with family members that place their assets and their wealth in the U.S. financial system, and also many other parts of the world," a senior U.S. administration official told reporters. Sanctions announced Wednesday also include the daughter and wife of Russian foreign affairs minister Sergei Lavrov. The U.S. also banned Americans from investing in Russia, and targeted Russian financial institutions and Kremlin officials, in response to what President Joe Biden condemned as Russian "atrocities" in Ukraine. Putin's daughter Katerina Vladimirovna Tikhonova is a tech executive whose work supports the Russian government and its defense industry, according to details in the U.S. sanctions package announced on Wednesday.

The U.S. and Europe are turning up the economic pressure against Russia amid international outcry over apparent atrocities against Ukrainians.

In imposing its latest economic penalties and restrictions, the U.S. said those it has targeted have enabled the “war machine that President Putin is using to wage this brutal aggression against the Ukrainian people.” Speaking to CNN on Wednesday, State Department Spokesman Ned Price said that the sanctions against Kremlin family members were “not just because of a blood relation,” but because “these are individuals who have profited” from the Putin regime's malign activities. “As long as Russia continues its brutal assault on Ukraine,” the White House said in a statement Wednesday, “we will stand unified with our allies and partners in imposing additional costs on Russia for its actions.” The new sanctions arrive as scenes of Russian atrocities in Ukraine have shocked the globe. Tikhonova and Shamalov are said to have split in 2018. The United States is toughening its sanctions campaign against Russia amid mounting evidence of war crimes in Ukraine, imposing new penalties on financial institutions and family members of Kremlin officials—including Vladimir Putin’s adult daughters. Putina and Tikhonova are his daughters from his marriage to Lyudmila Putina, which ended in divorce in 2014.

New US sanctions have thrust President Vladimir Putin's adult daughters into the global spotlight, which they have largely avoided throughout their lives.

She did not come into the spotlight until 2015, when reports circulated that she was Putin’s daughter. “I know that Western political culture implies family members have to be in the limelight. Katerina, 35, was born on August 31, 1986, in Dresden, Germany, where Putin was stationed at the time.

Latest sanctions target Katerina Tikhonova and Maria Vorontsova as US accuses them of hiding their father's wealth.

Navalny’s group is also urging sanctions against Alina Kabaeva, a former gymnast and parliamentarian, who they say is Putin’s second wife and the mother of his two youngest children. He referred to Vorontsova and Tikhonova as “women”, never acknowledging them as his children. No estimates were immediately available for their assets and holdings, and Leonid Volkov, chief strategist for jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, said the marriage was over. His wife, daughters, and other family members, for example, are conspicuously absent from the public domain.” Katerina and Maria have never confirmed publicly the Russian leader is their father. Her 36-year-old sister, Maria Vorontsova, leads government-funded programmes that have received billions of dollars from the Kremlin towards genetics research and are personally overseen by Putin, it added.

Details about Katerina Tikhonova and Maria Vorontsova have long been shrouded in secrecy. The U.S. says Putin's two daughters — one a doctor, the other a ...
