Letter to the editor: Why no sanctions on Putin's girlfriend?

The headline on the front page of the April 25 Wall Street Journal, “Putin’s Reputed Girlfriend Spared U.S. Sanctions,” is incomprehensible. The woman who is allegedly Putin’s girlfriend, who is the mother of at least three of his four children, is not going to be sanctioned by the U.S.? Why? Because our government leaders are afraid it might irritate Putin?

This is the person who has been described as a war criminal by our president. This is a person who has invaded a country with no provocation. This is a person whose troops have committed war crimes — murdered, raped, killed children, etc., and our government is worried about offending him?
