President Donald Trump's administration did just that with a new round of sanctions on several oligarchs and government officials. This includes Putin's son-in-law and also Alexey Miller, the main man at Russia's Gazprom.

Five years ago the intelligence agencies had placed their number at 5,500—almost half of the present size. Those figures have been on an upward swing since German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the country's borders to migrants in the autumn of 2015.
