The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed new sanctions on 18 Russians and four Russian entities for “continued disregard for international norms.”

The Treasury confirmed on Dec. 19 that these Russians are accused of interfering in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, hacking into several international organizations, and attempting to assassinate a former Russian spy in the United Kingdom.
