Separately, the sanctions will affect State Duma deputy Oleg Matveychev, who was included in the list of disinformers and propagandists. “As a mouthpiece for President Putin, he even hypocritically advocated paying reparations for the damage caused by Western sanctions and the war itself,” Payne said.

Matveychev was a member of Vladimir Putin's campaign headquarters for the 2018 presidential election. In 2020, he became a finalist in the Leaders of Russia competition. In 2021, he took part in the elections to the State Duma from the United Russia party.
