Hunter Biden-linked Russian billionaires spared yet again by US sanctions

WASHINGTON — President Biden’s administration on Thursday sanctioned more Russian oligarchs — but continued to spare two billionaires who worked with first son Hunter Biden to find US property investments.

The omissions came two days after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) launched an impeachment inquiry into the president, accusing him of lying about his links to Hunter’s foreign dealings.

The Treasury Department said that it was “imposing nearly 100 sanctions on Russian elites and Russia’s industrial base, financial institutions, and technology suppliers as the United States continues to leverage sanctions and economic restrictions to undermine Russia’s capacity to wage its war against Ukraine.”

Oligarchs Yelena Baturina and Vladimir Yevtushenkov weren’t among the new targets — even though they have similarities to other newly sanctioned businesspeople.

Those include Russian billionaires Andrei Bokarev, president of Russian military equipment manufacturer Transmash, and Iskander Makhmudov, who owns financial services and mining companies.

  1. Hopefully, President Trump will be re-elected!
    Then he will ensure the sanctions are properly imposed.
    The sanctioned parties will scream that they were guaranteed not to be sanctioned by the Biden’s – verifying a quid-pro-quo status. This will vindicate all of the ‘conspiracy-theorist’ Trump supporters…and hopefully land some people in jail!
