Alisher Usmanov

business

Alisher Usmanov is a Russian billionaire and founder of USM Holdings, who was included in the European Union's sanctions list due to his ties to the Russian government. The EU removed him from the sanctions list in September 2023, alongside Mikhail Fridman, amid reports of a compromise that extended sanctions on around 3,000 other individuals and entities for three years. The decision was controversial, with critics including Ukrainian officials and Russian opposition figures accusing the EU of yielding to pressure and creating a dangerous precedent.
