Switzerland removed Russian billionaires Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from its sanctions list. Restrictions against both businessmen had been in effect since 2022. At the same time, the country expanded sanctions pressure on Russia: an additional 254 natural and legal persons, as well as 41 vessel of the Russian shadow fleet, were placed under restrictions.
This was reported by the Federal Council of Switzerland on 4 November. It is noted that the decision entails the country's alignment with the new measures under the European Union's 21-th sanctions package.
