The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) yesterday imposed sanctions not only against former President Petro Poroshenko but also against businessmen Ihor Kolomoisky, Gennadiy Bogolyubov, Kostyantyn Zhevago, and former MP Viktor Medvedchuk.
The sanctions have been imposed for life.
This is stated in the presidential decree approving the NSDC’s decision.
It is worth noting that today is Kolomoisky’s birthday.
According to media reports, the sanctions against Poroshenko were introduced to minimize his political, media, and economic influence on the country’s processes, considering the likelihood of the war ending and subsequent elections.
Sanctions against Kolomoisky, Bogolyubov, and Zhevago were imposed to confiscate their largest iron ore and manganese deposits ahead of a deal with the Americans for mineral resource development.
Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov own the world’s largest manganese ore deposits in the Nikopol Manganese Basin (Dnipropetrovsk region). Zhevago owns one of Ukraine’s largest iron ore deposits, the Poltava Mining and Processing Plant.
“Why were sanctions against Medvedchuk introduced once again? Probably to further tie him to Poroshenko (both are suspects in the same high treason case),” commented the Telegram channel “Politika Strany.”
