As part of the international response to the invasion of Ukraine, the United Kingdom has placed sanctions on billionaire sports and mining entrepreneur Alisher Usmanov and former Russian deputy prime minister Igor Shuvalov.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss made the announcement shortly after Usmanov's £500 million superyachts were seized by German authorities, prompting accusations that the UK was lagging behind its EU friends in pursuing the affluent plutocrats around Vladimir Putin.

Usmanov is well-known in the United Kingdom for his past ownership of Arsenal Football Club, which he sold in 2018, and his commercial ties with Everton, whose owner, Farhad Moshiri, was suspended this week after the EU seized his assets.
