Russia lifted sanctions against Leni-Cosmos and his son
The Russian Federation has lifted sanctions against four Ukrainians, including former Kyiv mayor Leonid Chernovetsky, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The Russian Kommersant writes about this with reference to a decree of the Russian government.
It is reported that Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that removed Leonid Chernovetsky and his son Stepan, as well as Vladimir Krylov and Vladimir Lokotko from the list of sanctions. The latter, until March 2019, was the general director of the New Channel owned by oligarch Viktor Pinchuk.
Let us recall that on November 1, 2918, Russia imposed sanctions against 322 Ukrainians and 68 companies. Judges of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of the VIII convocation, large Ukrainian entrepreneurs, officials of the APU, heads of executive authorities of Ukraine and large Ukrainian companies, as well as legal entities controlled by major businessmen fell under Russian sanctions.
After the introduction of sanctions, a number of their figures from the former Opposition Bloc publicly accused the Ukrainian lobbyist Viktor Medvedchuk of involvement in compiling this list.
