The assets of the russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who is close to Vladimir Putin, in Ukraine will be seized in favour of our state. On 16 February, the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) of Ukraine upheld the claim of the Ministry of Justice to apply a corresponding sanction against Deripaska and MK United Company RUSAL PJSC.
Deripaska has become another russian oligarch whose assets will work for the recovery of Ukraine. Sanctions have been introduced against more than 250 people from the russian Forbes list and their entourage. The Interagency Working Group on Sanctions Policy, chaired by First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yuliia Svyrydenko, began work on sanctions against Deripaska six months ago, and today’s court decision is a milestone in this process. But this is not the finale yet, and the property of the sanctioned persons in Ukraine will continue to be collected under the law in favour of the state. At the same time, the IWG is making every effort to ensure that russian assets abroad are also transferred to Ukraine within the compensation for the damages caused by the aggressor.
