Twenty Russians and one Russian bank have been added to the U.S. sanctions list, which freezes targets' assets within — and travel to — the United States . Unlike the previous list, the expanded sanctions list includes many people who are powerful within Russia . Those on the previous list , such as Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin and presidential aide Vladislav Surkov, openly mocked the list, calling it a badge of honor for a Russian. The tone of the new list is more serious, but it does not include any official with major connections to or assets in the United States. Although the list still is mostly symbolic, Obama said the sanctions are targeting not just those who are responsible for events in Ukraine but also those who support the leadership, namely Putin.
