US publication of 'Russia list' is a hostile step: Vladimir Putin

Russian president Vladimir Putin has called a long-awaited US list of Russian businessmen and officials who have flourished under his presidency a "hostile step" that harms relations between Moscow and Washington.

The Trump administration's so-called Putin List featured 114 Russian politicians and 96 "oligarchs", fulfilling a demand by Congress that the US should punish Moscow for interfering in the 2016 US election.
