MOSCOW–The Trump administration on Friday imposed major sanctions against 24 Russians, striking at allies of President Vladimir Putin over Moscow’s “malign activity.”

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control released a statement which outlined these activities, “including continuing to occupy Crimea and instigate violence in eastern Ukraine, supplying the Assad regime with material and weaponry as they bomb their own civilians, attempting to subvert Western democracies, and malicious cyber activities.”
