WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States on Thursday imposed sanctions on four Russia-linked individuals, the U.S. Treasury Department said, accusing them of attempting to influence the U.S. electoral process.

The Treasury in a statement said it blacklisted a member of the Ukrainian parliament, Andrii Derkach, and three Russian nationals that are employees of the Internet Research Agency.
