EU proposes sanctions against Putin's alleged mistress Alina Kabaeva (Washington Times)

The European Union is eyeing sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin's alleged mistress Alina Kabaeva, according to government documents.

Putin opponents began calling for sanctions against Ms. Kabaeva in April after jailed Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny began releasing findings that he said pointed to links between Ms. Kabaeva and Mr. Putin. In 2008, the now-defunct Russian newspaper Moskovsky Korrespondent reported that Mr. Putin had divorced his wife Lyudmila and planned to marry Ms. Kabaeva. The paper was shuttered days after the report. Before being named chair of the National Media Group in 2014, Ms. Kabaeva spent seven years as the ruling United Russia Party’s deputy in the State Duma. Ms. Kabaeva, who is allegedly holed up in Switzerland, is believed to be the mother of at least three of Mr. Putin’s children and is suspected of assisting him in hiding his wealth abroad. Russian tabloids have, for years, floated rumors of Ms. Kabaeva’s romantic ties to Mr. Putin. The 38-year-old former gymnast and chair of the National Media Group, which owns stakes in most major Russian news outlets, would be banned from entering the EU, and her assets would be frozen if the sanctions are approved.

Putin, who is divorced, has denied a relationship with her. The EU has been ratcheting up its economic action against Russia since the start of the war in Ukraine. Most recently, the bloc has proposed a ban on Russian oil imports, something that would have a major impact on Russia’s economy, though Hungary, an EU member state with close links to Putin, is likely to scupper any such plans. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, is also among the individuals who are included in the proposed sixth round of EU sanctions, according to two sources who have seen the full documents, reported CNN.

There's a photo of the pair as far back as in 2001, when Mr Putin awarded her an Order of Friendship - a top state honour. She had a move named after her and was a leading performer in the team that dominated the sport. Like other Russian athletes, she has not escaped the taint of doping, losing her medals at an event in 2001 after testing positive for a banned substance. But The Sunday Times and Wall Street Journal said she had twins in 2019 in Moscow although they disagree on how many children she has had. More recently, in April she appeared at a junior gymnastics festival in Moscow, quashing suggestions she was in hiding. Ms Kabaeva, at her peak, has claims to have been the best in the world. It might not be off the table altogether, though. Born in 1983, she started rhythmic gymnastics as a four-year-old. The girl has the rare combination of two qualities crucial in rhythmic gymnastics - flexibility and agility." Four years later, in Athens, she went better, taking home gold.
