Canada names Putin’s two adult daughters in new round of sanctions over invasion
OTTAWA — The federal government has hit 14 more Russians with sanctions for their close ties with President Vladimir Putin, including his two adult daughters.
Maria Vorontsova, 36, and her 35-year-old sister Katerina Tikhonova are named on the list released Tuesday.
The federal government says the two, as well as a dozen other Russians, are facing sanctions because they are close associates of Putin and are complicit in Russia’s unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine.
“We will not relent in holding people accountable for their complicity in Russia’s attacks on Ukraine,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a tweet.
