Joe Biden has decided to punish Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny with 500 new sanctions, with just a few notable Russian oligarchs exempt - those connected with Hunter Biden.
“Though some 500 Russian oligarchs, companies and third-country sanctions evaders were hit, real estate developer Yelena Baturina and Vladimir Yevtushenkov again skated free of winding up on the list,” The New York Post notes.
Yevtushenkov acknowledged meeting Hunter Biden at the Ritz-Carlton in Manhattan in March 2012 and laptop records indicate they met again in January 2013 at DC’s Cafe Milano — the same restaurant where Joe Biden allegedly attended other oligarch gatherings — before looking at a commercial real estate development the next day in northern Virginia.
Café Milano is also the location where Baturina attended a dinner with then-Vice President Biden and Hunter’s Kazakhstani associates in spring 2014, according to congressional testimony given by Hunter’s business associate Devon Archer.
For some strange reason that remains unclear, she transferred $3.5 million in February 2014 to a firm controlled by Hunter Biden.

Surprisingly, The White House has not offered explanation in the past as to why the pair dodged earlier rounds of sanctions.
It shouldn’t surprise anyone as that silence from the White House continues.
