Два человека из санкционного списка упомянуты в досье Стила - Константин Косачев и Олег Говорун.
Pro-Putin leading Duma figure, KOSACHEV, reportedly involved as “plausibly deniable” facilitator and may have participated in the August meeting/s with COHEN. The Kremlin insider went on to identify leading pro-PUTIN Duma figure, Konstantin KOSACHEV (Head of the Foreign Relations Committee) as an important figure in the TRUMP campaign-Kremlin liaison operation. KOSACHEV, also “plausibly deniable” being part of the Russian legislature rather than executive, had facilitated the contact in Prague and by implication, may have attended the meeting/s with COHEN there in August.
“Today's sanctions send a clear message to Putin and his cronies that there will be a high price to pay for Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and Syria, and its attempts to undermine Western democracies, including our own. The United States must press forward with a broader strategy to deter and, if necessary, defeat Russian aggression and counter Russian malign influence activities. Anything less will only encourage Putin to continue attacking us, our allies, and democracies around the world.” https://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2018/4/statement-by-sasc-chairman-john-mccain-on-new-russia-sanctions
Американская демократия явно деградирует. Остается лишь желание любыми средствами обеспечить глобальную гегемонию США, в том числе через прессинг стран, проводящих независимую линию в отличие от натовских союзников Вашингтона, говорящих своим голосом. Как не раз отмечали, никакие меры давления не свернут Россию с избранного курса. Они лишь демонстрируют неспособность США добиться поставленных целей и консолидируют российское общество. Разумеется, не оставим нынешний и любой новый антироссийский выпад без жесткого ответа. Однако, прежде всего, хотели бы посоветовать Вашингтону побыстрее избавиться от иллюзий, что с нами можно разговаривать языком санкций. http://www.mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/-/asset_publisher/cKNonkJE02Bw/content/id/3155463
Выяснилось, что допрашивали действительно Вексельберга.
Federal agents working with Mr. Mueller stopped Mr. Vekselberg, a billionaire businessman, at a New York-area airport this year and sought to search his electronic devices and question him, according to people familiar with the matter. They confronted him after he stepped off a private plane about two months ago, according to one of the people. There is no indication that Mr. Mueller suspects Mr. Vekselberg of wrongdoing. But Mr. Vekselberg attended the presidential inauguration last year, and the interest in him suggests that the special counsel has intensified his focus on potential connections between Russian oligarchs and the Trump campaign and inaugural committee. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/04/us/politics/viktor-vekselberg-mueller-investigation.html
