Ian Pannell reports on the latest news from the war between Ukraine and Russia.Top members of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's team are pressing U.S. officials to pursue sanctions against 6,000 Russians who they say are among the"next tier" of those enabling Russian President Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine.
Thursday's meetings were part of a four-day trip to push the U.S. to take action against thousands of Putin supporters who Ashurkov said are outside of the super-rich, multi-billionaire class -- and who still have time to decide what they want the future of Russia to look like."It's a lot of officials, not necessarily at the top, but the next tier," Ashurkov said.
Ashurkov said the 6,000 names have already been made public, which"creates for them motivation to step away and distance themselves from Putin's regime."Russian President Vladimir Putin addresses a meeting of the leaders of the Collective Security Treaty Organization at the Kremlin in Moscow, on May 16, 2022.Kleptocapture Task Force"We're helping [the task force] with asset tracking for sanctioned individuals," Ashurkov told ABC News.
