Details: Also on the sanctions list were Russian businessmen German Khan and Alexei Kuzmichev.

In addition, the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs was subject to restrictions.

Recall: Fridman and Aven are also on the EU sanctions list, they got there February 28, 2022 four days after the start of a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. Billionaires immediately declared that will challenge the sanctions.

Friedman, who grew up in Ukraine, made his fortune in Russia and moved to London in 2015, has long denied claims that he is close to the Kremlin.

Aven left Russia shortly after participating in a round table with Putin on the day the full-scale war began and has not yet returned.

Friedman continues to live in Britain, where he, despite the sanctions, allowed to spend money on their employees.

This spring it became known that Fridman and Aven are ready to sell their shares in Alfa-Bank for $2.3 billion as they seek to free themselves from Western sanctions.
