The Trump administration has declined to impose sanctions against companies and foreign countries doing business with blacklisted Russian defense and intelligence entities.
The administration was required by law to name the companies and individuals Monday, and possibly sanction them under a 2016 law meant to punish Russia for its interference in the 2016 US election, as well as its human rights violations, annexation of Crimea and ongoing military operations in eastern Ukraine.
Late Monday, the Treasury Department released an unclassified list of 114 senior foreign political figures with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin and 95 oligarchs, who had a net worth of $1 billion or more.
The agency noted that it also provided an additional classified report to Congress that may have included other individuals not listed in the public portion of the report.
