Follow the money: Maria Bartiromo edition

I see that one of this fund's Top Ten investments is LUKOIL, a Russian multinational energy company and I see that the value of WisdomTree has dramatically decreased lately. Could there be more involvement with Russian money, businesses, and (gasp) Russian oligarchs? Does anyone with more knowledge of this sort of thing know more?

She has become even more extremist in her views, that are aligned with the trump mindset
