Are new sanctions hitting the right Russians?

So far, a total of 54 individuals have been sanctioned. But yet again, one individual not on that list is Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Also missing from the list are some of Russia's richest - billionaires, who just so happen to spend big bucks right here in the U.S.
