The U.S. Treasury Department was planning to put Alina Kabaeva, a former Olympic gold medalist in rhythmic gymnastics, on the list of financial sanctions, but after much debate at the White House National Security Council, it has decided to exclude Kabaeva.



It is said to be due to concerns that her sanctions against Kabaeva could be viewed as an attack on Putin's individual and could rather exacerbate tensions.



Born in Uzbekistan, who won 14 medals at the World Championships alone, Kabaeva is well known as Putin's 31-year-old lover.

Neither Putin nor the Russian government has officially acknowledged their relationship, but the US government believes they have had at least three children.



After she retired from gymnastics, Kabaeva entered Parliament as a member of the ruling party, and after she stepped down from parliament in 2014, she became president of the Russian New Media Group, which owns pro-government TV, radio and newspapers. It is known that he received an annual salary of 14.9 billion won.



Netizens commented, "So you're saying that you can't touch Putin's lover for fear of getting angry?"

"You're 31 years younger than me... Age isn't an issue, but I can't hide my surprise!"
