MOSCOW, March 17. /ITAR-TASS/. The United States has included Russian Vice-Premier Dmitry Rogozin in its list of restrictive sanctions imposed on some Russian officials.

In its previous reports, the White House said it was going to blacklist Rogozin, who oversees the Russian defense sector in the Russian government, because of his status.

Rogozin himself was sarcastic about the decision.

“Comrade, Obama, please tell the people who do not have bank accounts or property abroad what to do? Have you thought about that or you have not?” Rogozin tweeted in his blog on Monday.
