"US Imposes Sanctions on Russian-Israeli Billionaire Fridman and Associates"

The US Treasury Department has imposed financial sanctions on four Russians, including Russian-Israeli billionaire Mikhail Fridman, who are on the board of Alfa Group, one of Russia's largest conglomerates. The sanctions are part of ongoing efforts to restrict the Russian economy and its wealthiest individuals in response to the country's invasion of Ukraine. The sanctions will block access to their US properties and financial interests. Fridman, a founder of Alfa Group and one of Russia's wealthiest tycoons, has previously spoken out against the bloodshed in Ukraine.
