US Imposes New Sanctions Targeting Russian Troll Farm

RFE/RL

   Washington has imposed sanctions on several entities and people
   associated with the Internet Research Agency and its financier, Yevgeny
   Prigozhin, in connection with Russian interference in U.S. elections.

   "In renewed action, the Treasury Department is increasing its pressure
   against Yevgeny Prigozhin by not only calling out his support for the
   Internet Research Agency in connection with its efforts to interfere in
   the 2018 U.S. midterm elections, but also identifying his personal
   property, including several private jets and a yacht," the Treasury
   Department said in a statement on Monday.
