On Friday, 28 June, the Council of the EU decided to impose restrictive measures against two individuals and four entities responsible for undermining the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence of Ukraine by circumventing European sanctions or by providing the Russian government with material support.
The EU is imposing sanctions on Dmitry Beloglazov and his company LLC Titul, both responsible for setting up a system to circumvent sanctions, as well as JSC Iliadis and Rasperia. LLC Titul created a subsidiary, Joint Stock Company (JSC) Iliadis, in order to acquire the share that Oleg Deripaska—on whom the EU had imposed sanctions—held in the LLC Rasperia Trading Limited. Rasperia holds €28.5 million worth of shares in a European company, STRABAG SE, whose assets were frozen. Mr Deripaska used this mechanism to sell his frozen Rasperia assets.
In addition, Russia’s largest railway container operator, PJSC TransContainer, and its general director, Mikhail Kontserev, are also [now] subject to measures. According to the Council of the EU, the company’s revenues increased in 2023, notably thanks to the flow of Belarusian goods and the company’s participation in illegal arms trade schemes with North Korea in support of the Russian government.
