> What kind of shareholdings do you think gave this leverage? One of his holdings is a giant mining company. In the past, they've had exemptions to sanctions to deal with vast natural resources, as otherwise the price of some commodities can jump by 50%. Note that the oligarch himself still has sanctions on him and his personal yacht/jet are being confiscated if in EU/UK/US jurisdiction.
