WASHINGTON—The U.S. is moving to impose sanctions on one of Russia’s wealthiest men, Vladimir Potanin , as well as on some of his financial companies, U.S. officials said, as Washington looks for ways to further clamp down on Russia amid the war in Ukraine.
The action, which could be announced as early as Thursday, is expected to include sanctions against Mr. Potanin, his wife Ekaterina Potanina and a yacht he owns, these officials said.
Also on the list, according to these officials: Interros, an investment holding company Mr. Potanin controls, and Rosbank, which Interros bought from Société Générale SA earlier this year.
