   WASHINGTON - The United States on Thursday sanctioned four
   Russian-linked operatives, accusing them of trying to meddle in the
   upcoming U.S. presidential election.

   The sanctioned individuals are Andrii Derkach, a Ukrainian member of
   Parliament tied to Russian intelligence, and three other Russian-based
   operatives connected to the Internet Research Agency troll farm based
   in St. Petersburg.
