US lists 114 politicians, 96 businessmen in 'Kremlin Report'

The US government released its long-awaited "Kremlin Report" on Tuesday, profiling Kremlin-connected Russian elites and assessing the impact of potential new sanctions.

The list includes 114 individuals deemed by the Treasury Department to be senior Russian political figures.

It also includes 96 people deemed to be "oligarchs," each of whom has an estimated net worth of one billion US dollars or more, according to the department.

The list was required by a law passed by Congress last year to punish Russia for meddling in the 2016 US election - an accusation denied by Moscow.
