Britain on Wednesday imposed a new round of sanctions against “the Russian military and Kremlin elite,” including Svetlana Kryvonohykh, who claims to have a daughter with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Reuters and The Guardian reported.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverley announced a new round of sanctions against Kremlin-linked individuals and military organizations involved in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They include a drone manufacturer, a helicopter parts company and an aviation software company.

“Ukraine has shown Putin that it will not succumb to his tyrannical invasion. He responded with indiscriminate strikes on civilian areas and critical national infrastructure across the country,” Foreign Secretary James Cleverley said in a statement.

“We can’t let him succeed. We need to increase our support.”

Britain, which sanctioned more than 1,300 Russian individuals and entities last year, has sanctioned IT services company Moscoms for acting as a “connector for the Russian elite” by providing host domains to many involved in destabilization of Ukraine.

Svetlana Kryvonohykh, a very personal target of sanctions

The most personal measure appears to have been aimed at Svetlana Kryvonohykh, who worked as a domestic worker in the 1990s before meeting Putin in St. Petersburg.

The Russian investigative site Proekt claims that Putin is the father of the Crooked Legs’ daughter, Louise.

Putin has two adult daughters from his ex-wife Lyudmila. He did not comment on the history of the Project.

In 2021, a leak known as the Pandora Papers revealed how Kryvonogyh became wealthy after Putin became president of Russia in 2000. She has acquired several properties, including a luxury apartment in Monaco, bought in 2003, the same year she gave birth to her daughter.

She also became a shareholder in Bank Rossiya, a St. Petersburg bank known for its ties to Putin’s inner circle, and bought a stake in the National Media Group. His publications “consistently promote the Russian attack on Ukraine,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

Through the offshore company Brockville Development Ltd, Kryvonogykh purchased an apartment with a view of the Monaco marina for 3.6 million euros.

In 2020, the Project revealed that Kryvonogykh had amassed a $100 million fortune from his shares in Bank Rossiya, which is widely used by Putin’s former associates from the KGB.
