Finland freezes EUR 187 million of Russian assets

Under sanctions on Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine, Finland has frozen EUR 187 million of Russian assets

The Finnish Yle publication reported this.

As part of the sanctions against the Russian Federation, which Finland imposed on Russia due to the full-scale invasion, EUR 187 million of Russian assets were frozen.

“These are real estate, shares, cars, yachts, and airplanes. A wide variety of valuable property,” the head of the sanctions department of Finland's Foreign Ministry said. 

It is claimed that in Finland, the most famous Russian oligarch on the EU sanctions list is Gennady Timchenko: he is one of the owners of the Helsinki-halli arena in the capital.
