         COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2022/429
         of 15 March 2022
         amending Decision 2014/145/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine
         THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
         Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     On 17 March 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/145/CFSP (1).
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     The Union remains unwavering in its support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     On 24 February 2022, the President of the Russian Federation announced a military operation in Ukraine and Russian armed forces began an attack on Ukraine. That attack is a blatant violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     In its conclusions of 24 February 2022, the European Council condemned in the strongest possible terms the Russian Federation’s unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine. By its illegal military actions, Russia is grossly violating international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter, and undermining European and global security and stability. The European Council agreed on further restrictive measures that will impose massive and severe consequences on Russia for its actions, in close coordination with the Union’s partners and allies.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     On 25 February 2022, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2022/329 (2), which amended the criteria of designation to include persons and entities supporting and benefitting from the Government of the Russian Federation, persons and entities providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, and natural or legal persons associated with listed persons or entities.
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     In view of the gravity of the situation, the Council considers that 15 individuals and 9 entities should be added to the list of persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures set out in the Annex to Decision 2014/145/CFSP.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     Decision 2014/145/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,
                  
               HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
         
            Article 1
            The Annex to Decision 2014/145/CFSP is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
         
         
            Article 2

                           Roman Arkadyevich ABRAMOVICH (Russian: Роман Аркадьевич Абрамович)
                        
                        
                           Oligarch close to Vladimir Putin. Major shareholder of Evraz. Former governor of Chukotka.
                           DOB: 24.10.1966
                           POB: Saratov, Russian Federation
                           Nationality: Russian

                           Associated individuals: Vladimir Putin

                           Roman Abramovich is a Russian oligarch who has long and close ties to Vladimir Putin. He has had privileged access to the president, and has maintained very good relations with him. This connection with the Russian leader helped him to maintain his considerable wealth. He is a major shareholder of the steel group Evraz, which is one of Russia’s largest taxpayers.
                           He has therefore been benefitting from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea or the destabilisation of Ukraine. He is also one of the leading Russian businesspersons involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

                           Oligarch close to Vladimir Putin. One of the main shareholders of the Alfa Group

                           German Khan is a major shareholder of the Alfa Group conglomerate, which includes Alfa Bank, one of Russia’s largest taxpayers. He is believed to be one of the most influential persons in Russia. Like other Alfa Bank owners (Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven), he maintains a close relationship with Vladimir Putin and continues to trade significant favours with him. Alfa Group owners receive business and legal benefits out of this relationship. Vladimir Putin’s eldest daughter Maria ran a charity project, Alfa-Endo, which was funded by Alfa Bank. Vladimir Putin rewarded Alfa Group’s loyalty to the Russian authorities by providing political help to Alfa Group foreign investment plans.
                           He has therefore been actively supporting materially or financially and benefitting from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea or the destabilisation of Ukraine. He is also one of the leading Russian business persons involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

                           Viktor Rashnikov is a leading Russian oligarch who is owner and chairman of the Board of Directors of the Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works (MMK) company. MMK is one of Russia’s largest taxpayers. The tax burden on the company increased lately, resulting in considerably higher proceeds to the Russian state budget.
                           He is therefore a leading Russian businessperson involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

Rosoboronexport is a subsidiary company of Rostec, a state owned corporation that oversees the research and development of military technologies, and owns several production facilities which play an instrumental role in the deployment of those technologies into operation on the battlefield. Arms sales provide an important source of revenue to the Russian government. They are also used to advance Russia’s economic and strategic objectives. From 2000 to 2020 Rosoboronexport sold USD 180 billion worth of arms to foreign customers.
                           He is therefore a leading businessperson involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

                           Member of the Bureau of the Supreme Council of political party “United Russia”

                           Alexander Nikolayevich Shokhin is the president of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs – a lobby group, which promotes the interests of business in Russia. He is also a Deputy Chairman of Mechel PAO’s Board of Directors – one of the leading Russian mining and metals companies, which generates a source of revenue for the Government of the Russian Federation.
                           After the annexation of Crimea by Russia, Shokhin publicly expressed a need to direct more Russian investment to Crimea in order to override possible economic blockade by the West. On 24 February 2022, Shokhin attended a meeting of oligarchs at the Kremlin with Vladimir Putin to discuss the impact of the course of action in the wake of Western sanctions. The fact that he was invited to attend that meeting shows that he is a member of the inner circle of oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin and that he is supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine.

                           Armen Gasparyan runs his own show “Nablyudenye” for Russian media outlet Sputnik and a radio show on “Vesti FM”. He also publishes books and audiobooks and acts as an expert in radio show “Polnyi kontakt” (“Full contact”) of another propagandist Vladimir Solovyov.
                           Gasparian has consistently propagated narratives in line with the Kremlin’s propaganda. He has used logical fallacies to explain international affairs, denied Ukrainian sovereignty over Crimea, and defended Russia’s actions in the Kerch Strait when it captured a Ukrainian ship.

                           Artyom Sheynin is a Russian propagandist and presenter of talk show “Vremya Pokazhet” (“Time will tell”) on the state-controlled TV Channel One. He made statements in support of the illegal annexation of Crimea and recognition of the independence of the so-called Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. In his live broadcasts, Sheynin promotes ethnic hatred between Ukrainians and Russians, denies the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and slanders Putin’s opponents in Russia.
                           Talking about 24 February 2022, the day of the Russian full-scale unjustified military aggression against Ukraine, Sheynin stated that the Russian operation in Ukraine was inevitable and its purpose was to force the Ukrainian authorities to maintain peace.
                           He is therefore actively supporting actions or policies, which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine.

                           Dmitry Kulikov is a pro-Kremlin propagandist. He made public comments on the state-owned TV channels in line with the Kremlin’s narrative on the situation in Donbas region. He also justified the actions of Russian authorities threatening the integrity and territorial sovereignty of Ukraine, such as the suspension of the implementation of the Minsk Agreements or the decision to recognise the “independent republics of Donbas and Luhansk”.
                           He is therefore actively supporting actions or policies, which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine.

                           Konstantin Ernst is the CEO of Channel One Russia – one of the largest Russian media companies, which has been used for propaganda purposes by the Russian authorities for many years. In this position, he is responsible for organising and disseminating anti-Ukrainian propaganda of the Russian authorities.

                           He is therefore supporting actions or policies, which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine. He is also one of the leading business persons involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of Russia, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

                           Marina Sechina is a former wife of Igor Sechin, the CEO of Rosneft. She has used connections with various actors in the Russian government and Russian business structures, including with her former husband, for personal benefit.
                           Businesses owned by Sechina participated in the preparation of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014. She owns LLC “Stankoflot”, which receives contracts without tender with the State Corporation for Assistance to Development, Production and Export of Advanced Technology Industrial Product (Rostec). Moreover, she is Head of FTSSR CJSC and owner of a stake in RK-Telekom.
                           She is therefore benefitting from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea or the destabilisation of Ukraine and benefitting from the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

                           On 24 February 2022, Khudaveryan attended a meeting of oligarchs at the Kremlin with Vladimir Putin to discuss the impact of the course of action in the wake of Western sanctions. The fact that he was invited to attend that meeting shows that he is a member of the inner circle of oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin and that he is supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine. Furthermore, he is one of the leading business persons involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

                           Vladimir Rashevsky is the CEO and Director of EuroChem Group AG, one of the world’s largest producers of mineral fertilisers. Previously (between 2004 and 2020) he was the CEO of a coal company JSC SUEK. These are major Russian companies, co-owned by Russian billionaire Andrei Melnichenko, which generate and provide substantial revenue to the Russian government. They also cooperate with Russian authorities, including Vladimir Putin. EuroChem Group companies supplied ammonia nitrate to the occupied areas of Donbas. SUEK signed contracts with Crimean sanatoriums for employee’s health programs.
                           He is therefore supporting, materially or financially, or benefitting from the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
