❌🙏🏻Instead of Friedman and Usmanov: Ukraine may propose new Russian billionaires for EU sanctions - Politico
This concerns Vladimir Lisin and Vladimir Potanin, who control large companies in the steelmaking and nickel sectors — NLMK and Norilsk Nickel.
As the publication writes, Lisin and Potanin have so far avoided sanctions because of the scale of their businesses and their presence in Europe. NLMK has facilities in Belgium, France, Italy, and Denmark. In addition, European industry depends on the Russian nickel and palladium traded by Norilsk Nickel.
According to Vladyslav Vlasiuk, the president's advisor on sanctions policy, who spoke with journalists, if the EU adds the billionaires to the sanctions list, it would effectively cut their companies off from trading in the European market.
