Russian Billionaire Sanctions
Which of the following nations has not sanctioned a Russian billionaire who owned a company that built drones used to bomb Ukraine?
Correct Answer
Vladimir Yevtushenkov is a Russian billionaire who was the primary owner of a company that manufactures drones used by Russia to attack Ukraine. Australia, the UK, and other nations have sanctioned Yevtushenkov and seized his assets. However, the Biden administration hasn't sanctioned him and refused to answer a question about why. The laptop of Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, reveals several personal meetings between Hunter and Yevtushenkov. For example, a calendar entry states, "RHB [Robert Hunter Biden] dinner with Vladimir Yevtushenkov, President of Russian Holding Company Sistema - Location: Sistema ... Moscow." A witness has stated that Joe Biden was at one of those meetings. In late 2023, Biden finally sanctioned Sistema after Yevtushenkov gave up control of the company but hasn't directly sanctioned Yevtushenkov.
