According to TASS, the document contains 210 names: 114 major Russian  officials and state company executives, as well as the first 96  businessmen from the Russian part of the list of billionaires Forbes,  published in April 2017. Thus, the "Kremlin report" included the  Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and including Minister of Foreign  Affairs Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Energy Alexander Novak, Transport  Minister Maxim Sokolov, Head of the Ministry of Industry and  Communications and Communications Ministry Denis Manturov and Nikolai  Nikiforov, Minister of Agriculture Alexandre Tkachev.

At the same time, the US Treasury clarified that no restrictions and  prohibitions apply to the persons involved in the "Kremlin report".  The list is not sanctioned, no restrictions are imposed on its  defendants, the Americans do not threaten to deal with them, unless  restrictive measures have been imposed on a person earlier. The  non-secret part of the report says that the list includes 96  "oligarchs whose fortune, according to reliable open sources, exceeds  $ 1 billion." "Persons who meet this criterion are included in the  list, which is in Appendix 2 of this report," the documents say. The  so-called Kremlin list was to be prepared by the Ministry of Finance  and the National Intelligence Services of the United States in  accordance with CAATSA by January 29. According to Dmitry Peskov, the  press secretary of the Russian president, with the help of the  Kremlin report, Washington is trying to quarrel Putin with the  Russian business elite, his preparation is "a direct and obvious  attempt to implement  some actions to the elections in such a way as  to influence them." As expected, on January 29, the US administration  also had to present a new package of sanctions against Russia, but in  the second half of the day the State Department stated that the  CAATSA law itself "serves as a deterrent" and that "if the law works,  then sanctions against specific organizations or individuals may not  be required. " The Office drew attention to the fact that the new  restrictions, if introduced, will not affect Moscow, but those  foreign organizations that deal with Russian enterprises of the  defense industrial complex and intelligence services.

 

Under the Law on Countering America's Enemies through Sanctions  (CAATSA), the US Ministry of Finance, by January 29, 2018, is  required to submit to Congress a report on high-ranking Russian  officials and businessmen (the authors of the law call them  oligarchs). According to article 241, the document should include  information about the relationship of these individuals with Russian  President Vladimir Putin, their involvement in corruption, their net  capital and sources of income, as well as about the assets of  relatives (including wives, brothers and sisters, children and  parents). A separate document will be devoted to the possibility of a  ban on US investment in Russia's national debt.
