The European Union has proposed personal sanctions against Alina Kabaeva, a former Russian gymnast and Putin's mistress. It is noted that they may appear in the list of the sixth package, which the European Commission plans to present in the near future.

Why the EU wants to impose sanctions against Kabaeva

It is a holding company that owns stakes in almost all major Russian media that distribute propaganda. Therefore, Kabaeva is directly responsible for supporting actions that undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

The Kremlin has repeatedly denied reports that 69-year-old Putin is in “romantic relationship” with 39-year-old Kabaeva or her children. At the same time, the Russian media, which had previously written about the relationship between the dictator and the gymnast, often suddenly ceased to exist or their funding was canceled.
