Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov issued a statement on sanctions against Russian President Vladimir
Peskov explained that freezing “Putin's assets” would have no effect because the head of state kept the money in Rossiya Bank, which is already subject to sanctions.
Earlier, the US Senate published a bill on sanctions to be imposed on Russia “in the event of its invasion of Ukraine” or further escalation of the conflict around the country. The proposed measures affect President Vladimir Putin and the entire Russian top leadership.
