The sanctions are targeting ‘Gazprom’ CEO Alexey Miller, businessperson Oleg Deripaska, chair of VTB Bank Management Board Andrey Kostin, as well as Igor, Arkady, and Roman Rotenberg.

Alexey Miller, Oleg Deripaska and Igor Rotenberg have their assets blocked, do not have the right to withdraw their capital from Ukraine, are not allowed to enter the territory of Ukraine.

It is worth noting that Petro Poroshenko first introduced the sanctions in September 2015 by a presidential decree.
