The sanctions announced on Friday were among the most sweeping actions taken since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February.

Nabiullina, 58, has served as Russia’s central bank governor since 2013 and was appointed to a new five-year term in March. Before that, she served as Putin’s economic adviser. She has managed the economic fallout from international sanctions, quickly adjusting to a wartime policy when the ruble plunged 30%.

The State Department is also imposing visa restrictions on 910 people, including Ochur-Suge Mongush for “torturing a Ukrainian prisoner of war.
